    NASA to 'wiggle' broken Ingenuity Mars helicopter's blades to analyze damage

    I would put this helicopter on top of the perseverance rover by use of robotic hand, never know if you might need it. Funny how it made exactly 70 flights and then lost its wing probably by structural fatigue.

    Question transverse time inertia dampeners

    I would read it all. But you may want to do a global search for “inertial dumpeners” or you could ask Helio to write you a program for searching specific science topic with in this compendium of a cosmic proportions.

    Question transverse time inertia dampeners

    Clearly, your scientific knowledge is great Mr Bill. But may be the answer to this can be found in them books, of alternate realities (Kindle Paperwhite friendly).

    16 Psyche

    Booked and ready to go (see this NASA video) on August 22, mark your calendars :) Dr Joe may know more. It's cool to see the planet’s core floating out there by itself, very StarTreky.

    Question Solar sail acceleration

    The same superconducting components which were used in the article above. I don't know their dimensions or other details except it's at microscopic level which should work in our favor. Ok I have no clue, but that doesn't mean it cannot work :-)

    Question Solar sail acceleration

    There is probably only one thing you could use in space to "tractor" the bots together into sail or sphere, it is electro magnetism. Although we may not be ready to go down this rabbit hole yet. If you have dozens you could loose some to various misfortunes and still have enough left to...

    Question Solar sail acceleration

    Why can’t we lunch dozens of them separately and reconnect them at the drop zone like drones to form a single large swarming sail which could be useful for slowing down and flying around. Because if it can’t decelerate is there a point of even going? It’s like throwing jumping rocks into the...

    A drill made mostly of ice

    Hypothetically speaking, to tunnel through 40km of high pressure constantly chilled ice on Enchiladas, you need not a fission device but a fusion one. Something like a superconducting magnet held miniature Sun the size of bowling ball but heavier. It would probably come with wireless “treki”...

    A drill made mostly of ice

    This process may be analogous to ice diamond “migration” from gas giant to its moon. Let’s wait and see if the ice drill work one day. If doesn’t it doesn’t. But if it does you could have diamonds to spare.

    A drill made mostly of ice

    Thanks Cat. Yes, but for me digressing is one of the problem solving techniques, if direct path is not present. The other technique is based on agreeing with your fellow space poster, which I entirely am. Here may be the answer to your second question.

    A drill made mostly of ice

    Suggest yes, prototype not really sure. Waterfalls drill through rocks in nature, stalactites inside caves break the ground, icicles can kill, roadsters can fly in space, and there is diamond rain on Neptune. Also Insight’s probe drill made of the finest steel couldn’t get through more than 10cm...

    For people missions yes water, but also food from plants which need water, oxygen, shelter, 3d printing stock, etc. We are not going south here towards Venus, it’s frozen worlds down there.

    A drill made mostly of ice

    I may be intersect my comments with Phillip’s, sorry not sure what he thinks. For me I can add the material science is not set in “stone”. For example there are 3d printers which could be used to 3d print stuff from ice. There is also material called PEEK which is 3d printable plastic but as...
