Sailing The Solar Winds: LightSail Launch Set For 2016: "Solar sailing appears to be the most natural form of propulsion for humans. For hundreds of years, people have used wind to sail across the ocean to explore the Earth. Solar sailing is essentially the same thing. The LightSail craft will unfurl a metallic-looking sail. The sail will catch energy from the sun, which will push it away from the Earth deep into space. We can feel the pressure of photons every day when we go outside. In space, with a large enough area to catch photons, that pressure is enough to propel an object to tremendous speeds, theoretically."

Video of Tornado flipping Clipper Round the World yacht
