Some of your atoms might end up in a person 1,000 years from now. So you have that. Lol.

It will, not it might. One average each person has inside him or her something like 10^3-10^4 atoms that had been parts of any arbitrary person that ever lived with or before that person. Indeed this applies to any roughly human sized creature that live with you or before you. There is about a similar number of atoms from any arbitrary dinosaurs that ever lived inside you.

So there is something like a thousand atoms of Newton inside you, a thousand atoms of Einstein inside you, but maybe no atom from Jesus because he may not have existed.

Solar Sails, science fact ftw.

(at least until we develop an infinite improbability drive......)

Aren't Ion Thrusters more efficient?

No, solar sail theoretically needs no onboard energy source at all. Although it would be tough to try to navigate towards the sun with a solar sail.
