Bright said he has spent more than 100 hours organizing distribution and collection of forms, getting approval for postering and tabling and hiring student enumerators to help collect forms and answer questions...
...solar system and return within a few years, you need a spacecraft that will cruise at 100 miles a second. At that speed you will get to Mars in 10 days, to Pluto in 16 months. We can imagine a spacecraft carrying a big area of thin film to collect solar energy, with an ion-jet engine to produce thrust powerful enough to boost a spacecraft to a speed of 100 miles a second. It is also possible to build a nuclear-powered jet to do the same job, if the political objections to nuclear spacecraft can be overcome...
...some practical difficulties to be overcome. The transmitter has to be gigantic and must focus the energy of the beam on the fishnet as it accelerates. The fishnet must absorb only a tiny fraction of the radio waves to avoid being vaporized. The probe must carry instruments to collect information and transmit signals back to earth, and those instruments must weigh less than an ounce. There are enough problems here to keep engineers busy for several centuries, but one day a ship like this will...
