Space X, sailing

[ChrisK]

From one of my crew, just hired at SpaceX. The article involves sailing and exploration. This should appeal to your inner space/sailing nerd!

I've always said, if you want to simulate a space flight, try overnight offshore racing sometime!
There are alot of parallels: small confined area, relying on your equipment for survival, having to be self sufficient if you break something, having a common goal, teamwork, being far from help, difficult conditions, alien encounters...
