Space.... the next frontier
something "fun" to take a look at shortly when I get some time

"No-one can hear you scream"
I was just reading this article: https://spectrum.ieee.org/mapping-unchartered-waters
and it got me to wondering, if the process of 3D underwater mapping can be used in space?
Now, there will be a few of you, crunching your foreheads and squinting your eyes and saying, "But Tony, space is a vacuum, how would that work?...". Well, who says it is a vacuum? Have you been there to check? are you not thinking of the Hollywood 007 movie where they show the pssshhh pssshhh device that use a little jet of air to move astronauts around in space - please, point me to them... actually thinking about it, you could use airjets in similar ways to how you would in a pond or lake of water - although I do not believe they use oxygen, but nitrogen as explained here, they were called MMUs and were used once in 1984 and then retired. interesting.
Well, let's just ponder the concept that maybe you could use the 3D robot mapping from underwater robots in space - so, get perfecting the underwater based devices and then think how you can use that in space.
