The BBC and some other sites are reporting "Japan has unfurled a delicate solar sail in space, a device which some scientists believe could enable travel to far away planets." The system itself could in theory reach distant targets in amazing times.

This all sounds like something from Gundam or some other Sci-Fi anime if you ask me. ^_^
