M2P2 Replication Project

Testing.

Ok, posting appears to work now.   

I'm looking at the University of Washington research done prior to 2020 on a novel sail propulsion method called an M2P2 (Mini-Magnetosphere, Plasma-Sail Propulsion)

The lead researcher died in 2020 and the project stalled, but it looks like they were only in the beginning stages of some promising technology.  

Parts of his website no longer work or have been taken down, but I found some files below.  

I didn't know that a Plasma Magnet or Magnetic Inflation were real things, so I am going to try to replicate that science.
