[edit] Proposed addition

I think information from this source on new "photonic laser propulsion" should be added to the article, and/or a new article created. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.68.189.118 (talk) 10:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Isn't this the same thing that was discussed in "Laser Elevator: Momentum Transfer Using an Optical Resonator" in the Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets in 2002? The section needs to be rewritten to mention that, as it appears to predate the mentioned study and gives the system a different name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.10.136 (talk) 15:38, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
