see my web page

for an idea that is consistant with Steve and Timothy's objections.

i.e. reflection transferrs momentum to the normal, and absorbtion 
transfers momentum in the direction of the photons original vector.

Advance billing: it is _still_ possible to cancel the momentum within the 
structure of the antenna/sail .

HA!
