      That part of the video made me wonder about what possibilities there might be for harvesting energy "away from home". I'd figure that the more ways there are to harness energy, the farther and longer away missions could potentially last... In this case, I suppose the difficulty is that the passing of the comet is a relatively isolated event, so even if it did do something to make a lot of energy available, it wouldn't be reliable... But still, the more ways that are known, the better.
      BTW, these are ponderings from someone who admittedly knows almost nothing about this stuff, so they might be dumb thoughts. :)

    Obviously "hindsight is 20/20" but it is surprising to me that the engineering and development teams didn't incorporate an onboard compressor to allow for periodic but controlled "cleaning events." It would seem to me if solar coupled with a small nuclear power source was your only means of providing energy to your battery bank, you would include a cleaning feature. That being said, they likely did consider this and I'm very curious what their reasoning was behind excluding it from the rover?! Was it compressor filtration? Something else?

      That is a ton of weight to put on your rover. And knowing NASA they would probably overrule engineer it to hell and back to ensure that it works in literally any condition ever which would add more weight. This is all just guesses but I imagine somebody somewhere thought of that and for whatever reason NASA said no to it already.

    Ive always hoped that we would find some sort of new crazy material or metal on another planet or moon so we could harvest it and we jump miles ahead in technology and space travel from it. But it seems as though we already have every thing here on earth which makes me sad cause i dont think we'll ever get a lot further than we are now with the materials we now have and know of. :(

    • @RadicalCaveman
      @RadicalCaveman 3 года назад

      Well actually, physicists and especially chemists discover scads of new materials every year. Most of them aren't that big of a deal, to be sure. There could easily be materials on other planets that we don't know anything about. But if what you're looking for is something more fundamental, like a new chemical element, then it's a bit of a longshot to discover any elsewhere that we haven't found or made on Earth, even in a distant star, let alone some nearby solid body we can potentially explore.
