The ship could land without or use far less fuel. On departure the blimp materal could be left behind.

The extra surface area of an airship/glider will slow differently compared to a rocket at a much higher altitude, but how? The airship would need some rigidity, provided from the internal air pressure. Because the atmosphere does not have a solid line like water and the airship on contact with...

Maybe not as dramatic but enough to be efficient at faster speeds. Maybe a more tubular design for traveling higher and faster. It would just get thinner with less cross-section.

Could a hybrid airship like spacecraft ever so slowly shed speed using Mars' atmosphere while remaining low orbit while buoyant enough to serve as a glider?

I can imagine a frame within a blimp/hybrid airship so when the hydrogen inside the blimp is recaptured the skin retracts to form a wing. As the blimp travels faster it shrinks, the buoyancy giving way to the lift from its wing shape to a point in which it is no longer a blimp, but a plane. What...

@BillTre I know, I was just so upset I had a real solution and nobody took me seriously.

Also, I had this idea months before this publishment. I tried to share it and fell on deaf ears as implausable when in fact it is sound.

@Borek 1 test could test a group of 64 more or fewer people.https://www.news-medical.net/news/2...19-could-solve-test-kit-shortage-problem.aspx Each sub-group would be an added factor to each person. A false-negative is far rarer than a false-positive. With this simple algorithm and the...

What about 50 out of 50?

Thank You. I've had this idea for months. Finally, someone of enough importance had the same idea and took the initiative.

I am sure a culture can be made. It is unlikely just 1 out of 100 will be infected. None the less, the groups can be smaller or the test more sensitive or samples cultured. I hope this scratchpad picture helps with how the large group testing would be performed...

@Borek A positive group would be split using spit (or blood of the same blood type) sample into 2 sub-groups to using 2 more tests. The size of the group and the number of sub-groups will be determined by the positive whether false or not. The amount of spit needed will be determined by the...

Yes, more spit/blood samples would be needed. Is it more likely to get a false negative from combining 2 samples?

The new spit test does not require a swab. https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/first-saliva-test-for-covid-19-approved-for-emergency-use-by-fda-67416 How would divide the spit test change accuracy? Again could this test be made more sensitive to accommodate? A person or sample is either...

Can a group of people like family or a department share a spit test?
