Just as the internet is growing dramatically, so is interest in solar sails. The last time I checked, I found 305,000 hits for "solar OR light OR space sail OR sails OR sailing" on Google.

Therefore, I will provide a selection of web pages, rather than attempt to link to everything.

Here are some links to search the internet for solar sail information:
