                                           Hawking back at it again, reaching to the stars

                Professor Hawking thinks interstellar travel can be turned from a dream into reality. The concept is to reduce the size of the spacecraft to about the size of a chip used in electronic devices. The idea is to launch a thousand of these mini-spacecraft into the Earth's orbit. Each would have a solar sail. This would be such an amazing advancement for the world. We could find out so much with this amazing discovery. Especially with the help of Stephen Hawking. Hawking says, "The human story is one of great leaps," he said. "Fifty-five years ago today, Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. Today, we are preparing for the next great leap - to the stars."
