developed materials newly possible results sail
No one has ever done this before. These results would not have been possible without newly developed ultralight, high-temperature sail materials and beamed-energy propulsion methods.
degrees high mean reached
The temperature reached as high as 2,500 degrees Kelvin during the tests. High temperatures mean high acceleration.
clearly concerned
Clearly if you can do it than I have to be concerned that someone else can as well.
