I'd like to interject this shameless for our space propulsion company : https://gamaspace.com/. Solar sails for cheap interplanetary travel !

I’d show something real on the site - like the even shittiest prototype would make the web presence more believable - getting to your site makes me enjoy your idea but I don’t see real people working on something, I don’t believe you’d been able to help me since I’m just immersed in a story without a product
Thank you for the feedback. We have a lot to show, so I'll see what we can include ;)
Very cool! Would love to learn more about what you're working on!!
We're currently finishing the design of our first mission, GAMA Alpha, a 6-unit cubesat with a planned sail size of 100 meters square and the best performance of any launched solar sail (area / mass ratio of about 10). LEO launch next year to demonstrate deployment. We don't do much comms as we're fully focused on getting something to space and making it work before we sell the product :)
Appreciate you sharing!
