one of them may have a chance to be the first to reach «break - even,» a key milestone in which a process produces more
energy than needed to trigger the fusion reaction.
The results, recently published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, show that the algorithm can plan vehicle paths that are more

exist), gravity, to explain the 3 %, in the case of Earth, and 125 %, in the case of Venus, greater surface
than orbital temperatures (take those figures to the 4th power for equivalent
energy densities) seen in all planetary atmospheres, and indeed all gravitational wells.
And if you divert funds from
