I discovered this while looking for something else. LOL! I thought it was pretty cool.

Solar Impulse, a Swiss sun-powered aircraft, on Friday finished the first leg of its attempt at an intercontinental flight without using a single drop of fuel.

That is very cool. I hope thy can complete the flight. The plane is a smaller one but they are making great progress. There was a solar powered boat that just circled the globe recently as well. The nice thing about these both is that neither used a drop of fuel!
