Solar sailing, call for info
If contestants were to use the shuttle to launch from weight would be
>the< expense.  Unmanned craft might be an angle on realization.
Anyone on this list know enough to rough out the costs?  Did the
discussion on SF-LOVERS cover any practical aspects?  (no wise cracks
about that list please...)  How much did NASA estimate for the solar
sail Halley's comet rendevous vehicle?  Could something similar w/o
instrument packages be rigged?

PS- How did ESA's plans to visit the comet go?
