# Outerspace Sailing Ship Unveiled. BERLIN (AP) - Just as early explorers
reached new continents in sailing ships, so will humans sail out into the
solar system - but by harnessing the power of sunlight instead of wind.
That's the vision of a group of engineers who unveiled a prototype solar
sail designed to capture the energy of the sun and transport humans and
cargo through space without engines or fuel. It can do it at speeds of
223,220 mph, nearly 10 times as fast as the U.S. space shuttle and quick
enough to get you from Los Angeles to New York in a little over a minute.
"This is our mission, to project mankind beyond the loneliness of our
own solar system," said Nersi Razavi, whose Paris-based company Star
of Tolerance is the first to contract the solar sail for commercial
use. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2567142802-657
: Have you sailed to any new planets/stars/galaxies/universes lately? Do the
Reptilioids depend on solar sails? Are they incredibly patient? Can we hope
to out-wait them? Whaddya do if you sail tears when you're between stars??

# Skyscrapers of the Sands. Do these unique 30m tall obelisks represent
something more than memorials to ancient dead Ethiopian kings? Author
JJ points out the remarkable similarity with current highrise building
techniques found in cities throughout our modern world. Closer examination

of such a proposal. http://www.farshore.force9.co.uk/jj_sots.htm

# Gecko's amazing sticky feet. (BBC) The mystery of how geckos manage to
scurry up walls and stick to ceilings may have been solved by scientists.
It seems the little lizards have a network of tiny hairs and pads on their
feet which produce electrical attractions that literally glue the animals
down. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_781000/781611.stm

# Space Weather News for June 7, 2000. Following close on the heels of yes-
terday's two X-class solar flares, a third powerful X-class flare erupted
today at approximately 1545 UT. Soon after, coronagraphs on the orbiting
Solar and Heliospheric Observatory detected a faint full halo coronal mass
ejection. It appears to be heading in the direction of Earth at ~800 km/s.
This latest full halo CME will probably extend the geomagnetic disturban-
ces expected to begin Thursday when an interplanetary shock wave spawned
by a CME on June 6 collides with Earth's magnetosphere. Aurora watchers
are advised to be on the alert for Northern Lights beginning after sunset
on Thursday, June 8. For more information: http://www.spaceweather.com
: Are the Sun Godz trying to destroy/stimulate/warm/warn/amuse/frighten us?
If you were a solar deity, how many flares would you direct at Earth in Y2K?
When neon lights glow spontaneously, are we doomed? Are you looking up? Why?
