NASA is launching the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System. The technology could be used to support much larger sails than before.

The big draw, and gamble, of the Metaverse is the ability to experience events from a front-row seat—or an even more intimate or fantastic vantage point.

UNDERCOVER and Nike join forces a collaborative Moc Flow, which is speculated to release soon in a brown camo print and sail colorways.

From advanced technological equipment. whats a light sail? >> a light sail is simply a sail like the same we find on a sailboat, but its pushed by light rather than the wind. and when light bounces off an object, it gives it a push. we are currently developing this technology for exploration of space. in principle, you dont carry the fuel with you. so you can reach very high speeds with that kind of technology. its quite possible a mature civilization had many more years to develop technology us...
