The Mars and Venus-drone missions of the NASA



Mars-drone is one of the most fascinating ideas, whatever created in the history of space exploration. The idea is to send one or more drones to the Martian atmosphere, and the mission of those ultra-light drones is to map the large areas of the red planet. And the drones might be very sophisticated tools for searching things like bacteria on the surface of that strange world. The Mars-drone mission would be a good thing to test technology, which would be used in the drone missions in the more distant worlds like Titan.

There is another planet, what might be a good target for drones, and that is of course Venus. The planet is covered by a very bold atmosphere, and this makes possible to use normal quadcopters in the mission to search the surface of that planet. In that mission, the quadcopters must be equipped to stand the extreme heat, and that's why they must be made by carbon fiber and the thermos solutions, like vacuum layer between the carbon fiber layers, would isolate the electronics from intensive heat.

And the electricity would be transferred from the HAVOC (High-Altitude Venus Operational Concept)-airships, which would transfer the electricity to those drones by using radio masers.  Those quadcopters can be operated as the swarm, and each of them they might have different sensors and that means that some of them might use radars and plasma spectrometers to search things, what is covered in the surface of that planet.

The laser would steam atoms from the surface of that planet, and the spectrometers would see the elements, what are involving the steam And some of the quadcopters could land on the surface, and they might operate as the flying microscopes, what can be moved to new locations, when one area is searched. Controlling those drones might happen by computers, what are locating in the orbiter of that planet, and of course, those drone swarms can operate independently by using WLAN connections.

The idea would test this technology, and maybe someday this kind of drones will travel to the Titan and gas planets. The problem with this kind of missions is the distance, and this is why those drone-swarms must be operated independently. So they must be equipped with highly sophisticated and advanced artificial intelligence, what makes those drones operate independently.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
