what are reasons why mars surface probes don't carry a small compressed gas container for blowing the dust of the solar panels at least once? -

If I were standing in that spot on Mars, and saw this with my own two eyes, would the colours be the same? -
this engine may not look like much, but for me it’s the result of a long period of trial and error in trying to design a practical and aestetically pleasing piston engine for kerbal space program. it uses one mod, which is tweakscale. i really tried to go full-stock but the engine would have been too bulky. i hope you will enjoy it as much as i do. To start it simply stage the jets and give it some throttle. action group 1 toggles the propellor, which you should do, when using is in an aircraft at about 30m/s don’t give it full throttle right away but wait until about 15m/s otherwise the pistons will overheat. at normal flying speeds it won’t overheat but to make it a little easier to use i reccomend just disabling max temperatures in the cheat menu. https://kerbalx.com/theflyingdutchman/Radial-piston-engine-for-vintage-aircraft

I honestly never expected them to reuse them that many times, amazing!

Where did you read that they are removing the tiles? I certainly can't find it..

I agree, this corresponds with my own knowledge on the subject.

The original Wright flyer flew in 1903, the one sold to the army was a later model.

arca steam powered booster?
Flying dutchman replied to Flying dutchman's topic in Science & Spaceflight
If it was not clear yet... My opinion of Arca is not positive and I do not think their concept will work and is stupid. -

Ridiculous design. It has been tried before and it didn't pan out. I believe there is a Scott Manley video about this. The company thought that making a very simple pressure fed rocket stage and bolting as many as needed together was a good idea. Edit: It was the otrec (or otrac) rocket system. 4:10 -
2026.. I wonder if fh will even still be flying by then. Perhaps it can do things that ss/sh can't? One reason I can see is boosting it beyond Leo. Starship would have to be refueled for that right?

Mainly because of professional drivers I think.
