ESA (European Space Administration) tries to find out, what is the reason for the skull-looking structure on the comet. 

The ESA comet lander has been chosen to land near the eerie area on the comet. The "Skull-top Ridge" is the area, where ESA "Philae" comet lander landed on its target comet. NASA just made the mission, where the comet probe took the sample of the asteroid by using the OSIRIS-REx probe, and the sample is underway to return to Earth. 

The purpose of those missions is to understand better the structures of comets and asteroids, but also to test the artificial intelligence and other things, what is necessary to choose the right asteroids for commercial use. The asteroid belt and asteroids are full of important minerals and metals, that can solve the raw material problems of Earth. If we would produce the raw-materials in space, that kind of process is purely pollution-free. The separation of minerals can be quite easy. 

The separation is done by melting the asteroids or bites of asteroids in the cosmic bola and centrifugal separation. The bites of asteroids would put in the chamber, and they can be melted by using the sunlight by solar power microwave systems. If the system uses straight sunlight the parabolic mirror can target the chamber, but the microwave systems can also be suitable for that thing. Cutting the bites from asteroids can be done by using laser-cutters. Then those separated elements like metals can simply send to Earth and land by using parachutes. 

The asteroid Bennu is the C-type asteroid, which is the most typical asteroid. The high-carbon percentage means that there is a possibility to find the diamonds from that asteroid, but if the other minerals like Manganese are found on those most common asteroids, that thing would make the most fascinating things in economics. But the asteroids are also involved the absolute pure carbon, what has ever touch the air. And that thing is a very interesting detail. 

The thing that makes asteroids like Bennu interesting targets for mining operations is that they are traveling near Earth. So they can be easy to reach, and space could clean in that kind of operation from the dangerous asteroids. And this kind of thing is always interesting. If we think that some asteroids don't have interesting minerals, the astroid, what goes near the sun can involve a large mass of Helium 3, which is important in the fusion tests. So that kind of thing is making asteroids interesting things.

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...
