(...) Hey, I really like this little craft! :^D It has the feel of a classic sea-faring plessure vessel. Ya'know, to expand on this theme I'm actually surprised that no one has tried to make a solar sailing vessel. It would be slow...granted, but (...) (24 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Ya'know, to expand on this theme I'm actually (...) Ive had a cool idea for a space yacht which I will probably construct with my next batch of models. I think the actual hull design will be hard, though; Getting that yacht sort of look isnt (...) (24 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) That is exactly what I was thinking! When I saw those sail-solar panel thingies, I thought: Okay - no real use anywhere else, but it would make a great solar sail. Or six to eight of them would make a great set of solar array for a low orbit (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hey, I'll try those baggies! I would prefer mylar too, but mylar is expensive. Those baggies are "free" (I say in jest). You get a surprising amount out of just one bag, too. I just spread out four of them. Enough I say for a small pod-like (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.space)
