Project Solar Sail (1990) Anthology by Arthur C. Clarke & David Brin (editors)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.9mb
Overview: SAILING TO DISTANT STARS
It’s a dream that began with the publication of Arthur C. Clarke’s classic short story "Sunjammer," in which he introduced the concept of space vehicles powered by sunlight. Scientists were so fired by the idea that their research led to the creation of such a machine.
In this intriguing anthology such noted authors as Larry Niven, David Brin, Poul Anderson, Joe Clifford Faust, Ray Bradbury, Charles Sheffield, and Arthur C. Clarke himself contribute their future visions of solar sailing in a fascinating mix of stories, essays, and illustrations.
