- IS the solar sail race supposed to be a manned mission or what.. Why must it be
- a manned mission? Why not a robot mission.. A race in miniture.. Why not to
- test the concept.. After all the race would neewd some form of chase plane to
- be there incase of a accident.. So why not a unmanned mission. Unless I missed
- the point or mentioned of unmanned. IF I did, forgive my ignorance..
