Bill Nye’s Lightsail seems to be a viable option for space travel – only more people need to fund it. Could you help?

All that energy just goes to waste as entropy unless you use it. Time will tell.

Done! Got plenty enough crowdfunders and launched prototype a while back.

Unlimited free energy from the sun will provide CubeSat propulsion and revolutionize access to space for low-cost citizen projects.

Interesting idea, not sure how much evidence there is for this but nice to play the universe backwards and see how it compares to the black holes speckled within.

Space And Sustainability Should Align

With more investors focused on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, satellite imagery may provide them with key data on the environmental impact of company activities. Satellite applications include monitoring greenhouse-gas emissions from companies and regions, helping utilities optimize renewable energy infrastructure and mining data to project how climate change could affect particular industries.

“ESG is becoming table stakes for businesses, and satellite imagery helps fill the data gap,” says Jonas. “Developing technologies from both public and private companies could offer a new channel of information for investors interested in pursuing both sustainability and returns.”
