Nah, I'd rather blow two years worth of income on a single bottle of liquor. I swear I'm not an alcoholic tho. YOLO

On the contrary, they wouldn't last 5 minutes with all the space debris we already have in orbit, the ISS often has to keep changing its position to dodge it. We're basically at the point where we need a big fishing net to clean it all up and bring it back down, and space battleships blowing each other up will just create more debris...

Reply to comment by Wooden_Ad_3096 in Mars may be slowly ripping its largest moon apart by peterabbit456
If that's the case then the James Webb telescope is a moon of Earth. You're mistaking the definition of a moon for the definition of a satellite, one of these two terms needs to be eliminated...
Edit: alright fine, I picked a bad example because I wasn't fully aware of where it's located. Surely there's better examples, like the International Space Station, nobody is calling that a moon either, it's still a satellite. If an asteroid flew by and got caught in the exact same position and orbital path it would still be a satellite, it wouldn't suddenly become The Moon 2...

Phobos and Deimos aren't really moons tho, neither of them are large enough for gravity to self correct their shape into a sphere. They're really just asteroids that got caught in Mars gravity and started orbiting instead of falling immediately to the surface...

Not necessarily, a small weak one like I have in my trunk could be allowed to build up enough pressure in a storage tank over time until it's needed. Another option could be pre-loaded air cartridges, might mean a limited number of uses but it could extend the life of the system...

Compressed air would work too, there's no moisture in the air like on Earth so it's literally just dust. An air compressor with built-in lines pointed at the solar arrays could just blow the dust off, super simple solution...
