RECOMMENDATION FOR GOLDEN FLEECE/GOLDEN SAT TECHNOLOGY

The Breakthrough Initiatives is a multi-hundred million dollar (US) effort to search for life in the universe. Our top project is to develop technology to send a nano-probe to the nearest star system (Alpha Centauri) in the next few decades. We intend to use a laser driven light-sail. Golden Fleece was chosen over dozens of others as our most promising lightsailapproach.
The Golden Fleece lightsailpromises to revolutionize our ability to send payloads --not only outside our solar system but to many locations inside our solar system.
