Hi Bill!

I'm only familiar with the basics of the technology behind LightSail, so forgive me if this is a silly question, but what do you think are the long term applications of this sort of technology? Do you see it moving beyond powering CubeSats and moving on to even bigger uses?

Yay for loaded questions based in ignorance!

Not OP, but a former derby skater. Aggressive inline skating is really cool! And derby is a 100% legitimate sport and you should check out a game to see for yourself! Chances are there's many leagues in your area and probably a WFTDA member league nearby!

NASA has blown up rockets on launch and in testing.

That comment was sarcastic.

Rockets do blow up. It happens sometimes. The smallest thing going wrong can cause massive problems.

Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia are the most tragic accidents because these killed people.

This website might help you out a little with gear to get started. It's best to get your first set of gear used. It will save you a lot of money while you figure out what you like and don't like.

Orlando, for a couple of different leagues.

The biggest local league was a drama fest and my knees are busted so I stopped. Hoping to start up again eventually.
