so much for that idea..

The russian rocket they were using to launch it crapped out. Not the solar sail technology.

They'll be back.

yea but something like this can be a death blow to a small company.

there goes your $4 Million technology

:smokin

4M is nothing.

I think they were drinking tooo much when they hit the launch button.

4 Million is alot for Russia!

tony

they launched it from a fucking submarine ... crazy shit, seemed doomed from the start lol.

I'm sure it was a feasible idea, but the description i read of the process seemed ridiculous haha :)

With Russians it was more likely a case of not drinking enough. :thumbsup

Clueless brits. :1orglaugh
