The Spectrum
comment:
I'm wondering if this process can be used to make a space sail. It would be only a few nanometers thick. Then a reflective coating could be applied that is also only a few nanometers thick. The weight would be very, very light for its size. Graphene is strong material, so it should hold up. At least, in theory it could hold up. The sail itself would not be a significant factor in mass, but its structural components would.
