a sail area larger than a baseball diamond, a wing twice the size of a boeing 380′s, a mast taller than an 18 story building, 30 knots above the water, compression loads of 100 tons, 25,000 data points collected per minute… what a phenomenal synthesis of technology and nature.
“I firmly believe, that before many centuries more, science will be the master of man. The engines he will have invented will be beyond his strength to control. Someday, science shall have the existence of mankind in its power, and the human race commit suicide by blowing up the world.”
Henry Adams
