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.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
