TB,
At this time, I do not believe in solar power as the fuel of choice for traveling within our solar system, but who knows if someday someone may come up with a better way of using the sun for this purpose? Time only moves forward. (for us mortal beings anyway at present)
In fact, we are so far "backward" in "space travel" at the current time, that most believe the "light barrier" cannot be broken!
If the human race survives on this planet in "good shape" for another few hundred years, the scientists of that time period will most likely chuckle at many of our present beliefs and or theories. Yogi
