I wish I could buy into that.

Now…if you have a lot of energy beamed from all sides—-don’t put anything in a vehicle except the ability to polarize facets—-maybe you could get an agile “cursor” that could dart back and forth….in microgravity. It it has several beams…it kinda pantographs its way around…maybe no light delay. The next step for the Myrabo light craft approach.
Maybe the laws of physics will allow that.
Me? I just want HLLVs to get larger and larger until we have rockets the size of the Chrysler Building.

Microscopic metavehicles powered by nothing but light
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have succeeded in creating tiny vehicles powered by nothing but light. By layering an optical metasurface onto a microscopic particle, and then using a light source to control it, they succeeded in moving the tiny vehicles in a variety...
