I say use solar sails to ship stuff to Mars for building a colony and then plant the sails at one of the Lagrange points to continuously heat Mars.

Weebshit, moeshit, otakushit, it's all the same shit.

There is a probe orbiting venus right now, with aluminum plates etched with a fucking anime character.

Has people came up with an idea of how to stop it/decelerate?
>>
>>8085492
Sure. It was even described in Accellerando. Basically you detach a part that continues on but reflect the light back into your remaining sail but now from the opposite side.

Can't wait for space pirates to roam the void between suns.
