Solar sail?

Though technically the spaceship described in the book is driven with a kind of a solar sail, I don't think that the original Strugatsky brothers' idea of the photoreactor should be described in such a way. --Targi 23:56, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup template

Among the things that I think are needed to make this article better:

Where was it published? Where has it been reprinted? Where/when did the English version come out?
What is its particular significance? Where did it come in the development of the Noon world?
What is its significance to science fiction at large? Or specifically to Russian science fiction?
What have critics, other science fiction writers, etc said about it?

Until some of this out-of-universe information is added, I feel that the tag is appropriate - at present the article is slanted almost entirely towards the diegetic world of the story. Phil Sandifer 18:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the "in universe" tag. Looking at the guideline linked in the tag, it clearly does not apply. All of the suggestions above are good ones which would improve the article, but do not make the article "in universe." - 152.91.9.144 22:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
