Cosmos 1, the first solar sail spacecraft, went into space yesterday atop a converted Russian ICBM. The $4 million launch is not a government project . . . it was put together by the Planetary Society. See the CNN story . . . and watch the video.
I'm especially happy about this because I've been a Planetary Society member for years. Now THIS is what I call getting something for my dues!
Late update: An hour after posting time, Cosmos was still AWOL, but the Planetary Society website was optimistic; they think they've had enough contact to establish that the spacecraft is live. Cross fingers.

Enter, Exalted: Caste Book - Eclipse.
