Summary
Dr. Wellesley Pereira, a senior research physical scientist with the Air Force Research Lab's (AFRL) Space Vehicles Directorate at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. Pereira currently researches hyper-spectral imaging, but his experience in astronomy and physics has led him to theorize that the Air Force may push the envelope of manned space exploration by employing ground-based laser arrays fired at spacecraft deploying sails to transfer the momentum of photons to the craft propelling it through space.
