I realize you said it in jest, but as someone with ADHD generalizations like this hurt. Many of us love science and we have enough day to day difficulties to contend with.
That said, I can think of a few reasons for not releasing a photo:
1. Solar sails are flimsily and fragile. The photo would likely not be representative of the craft in action.
2. The labs building these things may not have a professional photographer available.
3. A prototype craft might just look like junk. Wouldn’t be surprised if they want to iterate on the design a bit before they solidify the public’s vision of what a solar sailing craft looks like.
- lordfrito 2y ago> as someone with ADHD generalizations like this hurt Apologies -- I was mainly referring to the "overstimulated generation" of kids and their effect on media becoming more clickbaity with fancy/fake images. It was a poor choice of mine to summarize this idea using the word ADHD.
