I’m confused. Wouldn’t it mean that even without this trick laser sail is only for nearby missions?
I’m talking about using a laser sail to get up to near c (0.1 g acceleration for 40 lightyears is pretty strong) in the first place, and slowing down by other means.
This trick is about using a laser sail for both acceleration and deceleration.
Makes perfect sense, forget I asked.
