I guess some people want to buy themselves a piece of history
Hmmm, maybe I'd think something grander would be in the planning if that was the case.
A thought occurred to me (happens once in a while). Solar sails give the possibility of travelling long distances relatively faster then rockets. So we get a pluto probe pop a sail on it and send it off. According to the beeb it would reach Pluto in 5 years. Fine, lovely how does it slow down?
Does it tack into the wind at an angle like ships can do?
