Despite these achievements, the last 30 years have seen a paucity of achievements in space exploration. As Astronaut Buzz Aldrin has said, “History will remember the inhabitants of the last century as the people who went from Kitty Hawk to the Moon in 66 years, only to languish for the next 30 in low Earth orbit.” This slowdown can be attributed to the fact that NASA’s funding has been cut repeatedly, and ambitious programs have been scrapped for more cost-effective and passive endeavors...

...world's first spacecraft to fly powered by direct solar radiation [SCIENCE, March 5], noted that the idea goes back many years but failed to mention the contribution of science-fiction writer Arthur C.
