Well, there's the new Quark, Curie, Edison offerings. I don't see how that can save a company though. They used to sell $200 processors like popcorn.

"Then the team noticed that they were connected to periods of time when the bright spots in the Occator crater were visible from the Earth." Maybe they know when they are being watched?

Nordic's nRF24L01 was all the rage before the ESP came along. It's 2.4GHz, but you don't have to worry about following the Bluetooth Smart protocol - you can do what you want. Very low power. There are $2-$3 boards everywhe

I would think you could modulate a retroreflector to send data directly back to Earth using a small piece of the same laser used for propulsion. Similar to how the retroreflectors on the moon allow you to bounce a laser off of them and send

I think the bigger problem is how does America compete with $1.50/hr wages for skilled workers? If we could, the companies would pay for any necessary training. It doesn't cost much in the long run. But of course we can't co
