But the letter also warns that a "great conflict" is coming and uses language that could be construed as a call to arms, the Associated Press reported.

As one of the world’s biggest producers and consumers, growth in China is vital to the health of the world economy. Germany, whose economy shrank in the second quarter, has suffered under weaker Chinese demand for its products.

It omits the use rocket propulsion and harnesses the power of Sun to transit through space. The spacecraft essentially functions like a sail ship which captures tailwind to move forward while the mirrored sails of the spacecraft capture photons. Photons are packets of energy in light that do not possess mass but have momentum. The reflective sails made from Mylar capture the photons, which transfer all their momentum and get reflected to push the spacecraft forward. It is theoretically possible for humans to use solar sail spacecrafts for interstellar travel.
