 Osiris REx completed its mission and landed at Dugway test range, Utah. 


Osiris REx probe's capsule landed in a military area in Utah. That capsule involved a couple of hundred grams of asteroid material. Osiris rex captured that material from Asteroid Bennu. And the mission took seven years. The Osiris REx samples are the first asteroid samples that are delivered to the high-tech laboratory. That Dugway test range (Officially: Dugway Proving Ground) or Utah military test area probably involves a BL-5 class laboratory that can keep those samples sterile, until researchers can start to investigate them. 

And  NASA will tell interesting facts about those samples. The Osiris Rex is one of the milestones of the spaceflights. That probe took the samples from Asteroid Bennu to Earth. The probe needed advanced AI and automatic systems to accomplish its missions. And this is one of the most interesting missions after the manned Moon flights. The Osiris REx opened a new dimension for space programs.

Osiris REx mission took seven years. And that is a long time even on Earth. That means the asteroid colonization and journeys to Jupiter are realistic only for highly independent AI-controlled robot groups. Jupiter's icy moons are dangerous places. Because their ice shell can break without warning. And in the case that there is some kind of lifeforms human astronauts can pollute the ocean. 

The journey to Jupiter is so long that humans might leave that thing to robots. The manned missions to other planets require full knowledge of the planet. Things like erupting gas pockets and sandstorms that create static electricity causes problems. Same way. If the ice shell breaks under the base or landing craft that can cause a devastating situation. 

The data that this probe gave from asteroids and its internal operations are helping to develop new spacecraft that are more independent. The fact is the manned missions to Jupiter are so dangerous and long-term missions that the things that travel to Jupiter and take samples from its icy moons are robots. During manned missions, the astronauts must spend a long part of their lives in space, and only AI-controlled probes can make that kind of mission. Those probes might carry human-looking robots, but those missions are reserved for highly independent AI-controlled probes.

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 th

Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.

  Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.  Could a hypothetical Planet X tunnel all radiation?  The myth of Planet X still lives. Nobody ever saw that planet, and the thing that supports the theory of previously unknown large-size planets in Kuiper's belt are mysterious anomalies in Neptune's trajectory. The thing is that nothing else supports the theory of the existence of the "invisible planet". The size of the planet must be very big. And its gravitational field strong that it can affect Neptune's trajectory.  And the search for that mysterious planet is very long work. In some visions, the mysterious gravitational source is mentioned as the small black hole, but nobody understands why that black hole doesn't seem to interact.  In some other theories, Planet X is a glimpse of dark matter. And that thing makes it invisible. But there is one weakness. The dark matter object must have some kind of

Nanoparticles are excellent tools for medicine transporters.

"Researchers have developed a new therapy for pancreatic cancer involving nanoparticles that stimulate immune responses and improve drug delivery. This innovative method has led to significant tumor reduction in mice and holds potential for treating other cancers. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, New Nanoparticle Cancer Treatment Successfully Shrinks and Eliminates Pancreatic Tumors) Nanoparticles can carry medicines into wanted cells. The idea is that the same system that feeds those cells transports those nanoparticles into cells that need medicine. When a nanoparticle goes, into a cell, it releases the chemicals into the targeted cells. Because nanoparticles don't let medical molecules interact with a body that makes it possible to create new and more powerful cytostatics. Nanoparticles can transport things like ricin molecules into wanted cells.  Ricin is one of the most poisonous chemicals. That chemical is useful for next-generation cytostatics, if researche
