Re: sail trim

Sailing that way's a "downwind" thing. Read The Mote In God's Eye, & or, look up "Crazy Eddie" Interstellar Travel --> "crazy eddie" interstellar travel - Bing

Re: sail trim

Very interesting. I was not aware of FRBs. What catches my eye is the amount of energy. It does not seem likely one will use this much energy to propel a space craft. If only for the reason that this same energy would wipe out the craft and half the nearest galaxy.

THX for sharing your find. Most interesting.
