MOXIE successfully made water on Mars



Mars is far away from Earth. And if the researchers can make something necessary on that planet, that thing makes all missions to that planet easier. The oxygen is needed for breathing in manned missions. But also oxygen is needed in unmanned missions. 

It can use in fuel cells that making possible to operate at nightside without nuclear systems. The water can break into hydrogen and oxygen which are excellent fuel for rockets and fuel cells. Those systems can also decrease the need to use nuclear systems. 

The solar panels can use to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. And that kind of system is decreasing the need to use nuclear fuel. So nuclear reactors can work longer before operators must change the nuclear fuel elements. This makes those missions cheaper.

In visions, the samples from Mars are taken to Earth by using a small rocket that looks like an MGM-52 Lance missile. Or at least that rocket is based on the technology developed for the Lance missile. 

Those hydrocarbons can use as fuel in rockets that are shot to the Mars orbiter. When we are thinking about the most challenging part of the Mars colony is the support of that colony. Of course, nuclear engines can use in interplanetary flights. But the system must rise the merchandise to the Mars orbiter where nuclear rockets are waiting for that cargo.

The cargo from Mars will of course involve minerals but also crews must change after a certain time. The manned colony can use the biowaste to create methane for rockets and shuttles that are rising to the Mars orbiter.

Mars-planet must be mapped very accurately before we can build the base on Mars. There is always the possibility that there is carbon dioxide ice under the Martian surface. Even small energy impacts can vaporize that carbon dioxide and cause dangerous situations.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
