   Frank Belknap Long. It began with the sighting of the Scorpion ships in the new 400-inch reflecting telescope on Mount Palomar. The ships landed on Earth to disgorge aliens quite indistinguishable from human beings, except that they were all apparently equal to the genius level of human beings.

   How will Starshot's Laser Mission work?

   • The Starshot team plans to use conventional rockets to send its probes into orbit. Then a 100-gigawatt laser array on Earth would fire continuously at the sail for several minutes, long enough to accelerate it to 60,000 kilometres per second. Starshot leaders acknowledge that they are counting on breakthroughs from the laser industry.

   Could we reach the nearest star system?

   • “Clearly it would be a huge step forward for humanity if we could reach out to the nearest star system,” says Bruce Betts, director of science and technology for the Planetary Society in Pasadena, California. The data beamed back could reveal whether the alien world offers the right conditions for life—and maybe even whether anything inhabits it.

   How far a star could a human-made object be from the Sun?

   • No human-made object will have moved so fast nor, indeed, got so close to our star - just 6.1 million km, or 3.8 million miles from the Sun's "surface". "We are basically almost landing on a star," said Parker project scientist Dr Nour Raouafi. "This will be a monumental achievement for all humanity.

   How many ideas did Starshot have for propulsion beyond the Solar System?

   • Starshot evaluated more than 20 ideas for propulsion beyond the Solar System, but “virtually all” seemed out of reach, says Pete Worden, the project’s executive director. They settled on one that Lubin had proposed, involving lasers.
