Aurora Spacelines was a conceptual design project made by Masters Degree candidates of Umeå Institute of Design in Umeå, Sweden.
One student from each of masters programme; Metin Kaplan from Advanced Product Design, Niklas Palm from Transportation Design and Terry Lim from Interaction Design; created the fictional company "Aurora Spacelines" that is providing high-speed orbital travelling service by using lightcrafts.
Yeah, except when the craft is in space it'll probably crash into one of the countless space junk we have.

This will never work for commertial use. It's just too dependant on the ground laser to work to be able to fly safely.

It would have to carry some small amount of on-board propellant. I think they plan to use water, but I don't know for sure.
