Fly me to the Moon...

OK, so the Cosmos-1 won't fly me to the Moon today, but in the future the technology it uses could be the propulsion that could take me to the furthest reaches of our solar system, and maybe beyond.

A solar sail spacecraft is set for launch later today which will perform a very limited test of this new (and straight from science fiction) technology.

Good Luck!
