Re: [Vo]:Ockels Flies His Kite

Google is putting $5 million into this. If they have that kind of 
money for kites they should invest in cold fusion.

I still think laddermill kites are impractical. What are they going 
to use for the tether? What can stand up to 100 MW?!?

Using kites as auxiliary sails on large ships is a good idea.
