For RobertDyck re new topic and long tenure with NewMars....
It is good to see you back on the board, after an absence ...
Best wishes for success with the new topic. It seems to me it has potential for a long and robust life, because we are just in the early stages of the evolution of the space suit, from Gagarin to the latest SpaceX or Blue Origin designs.

For RobertDyck re history reminder:
Thanks for another very nice addition to the forum archive.
May I share with you an idea I've been mulling:
It appears I did not copy the text I just composed. Instead, here is a link to an article that I was reading:
https://daily.jstor.org/the-fifteenth-a … annotated/
The idea I was considering (this is a reconstruction) is to eliminate the traditional construction of Congressional Districts based upon land.
That is how we've been allocating voting since the founding of the US, and it may well go back to England before then.
With modern electronics, we can create Digital Districts within States, and each Congressional District (of 435) would be allocated based upon voter registration by approved parties. This would (among other things, mean small parties (like (can't remember name) or ???) might have enough members within a State to win a Congressional seat.
Would this work in Canada?

For RobertDyck re Ford 150 to be built in Canada...
https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.ph … 99#p235099
Thanks for this encouraging news! The vehicles built in a single facility should cost less, and Ford share holders should benefit.
It seems to me as though this is Sensible Capitalism at work.
I would like to point out that the new plant will require IT workers in great numbers, because so much will be automated.

For RobertDyck re new topic on War Drones...
Thanks for explaining the focus of the new topic...
My idea is not to replace current FPV drones used in Ukraine. The mini quadcopters are reconnaissance. When a drone finds a Russian soldier, it will radio that fact back to base. Then a current combat FPV drone will be sent to take him out.
Please go back to Post #1 of your new series, and edit the title to more clearly indicate the focus your new topic will pursue.
Doing this will open the door for others who might wish to cover some other aspect of the general topic "War Drones"
No doubt you are aware that the reason Ukraine has gone to fiber is the success of Russian jamming techniques.
Your idea of the reconnaissance drone "radioing" back to base assumes you are operating in a jam free environment.
Such an environment is possible if you are deploying your equipment in a third world country.
Apparently such equipment would fail if deployed in Ukraine.
