What are Fractals?
A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos. Geometrically, they exist in between our familiar dimensions. Fractal patterns are extremely familiar, since nature is full of fractals. For instance: trees, rivers, coastlines, mountains, clouds, seashells, hurricanes, etc. Abstract fractals – such as the Mandelbrot Set – can be generated by a computer calculating a simple equation over and over. https://fractalfoundation.org/

No more rocket launches with the construction of a Space Elevator.
Orbital construction and supply mission cost would drop dramatically.
Orbital construction of ships and stations would take days to complete instead of years!

. 15 which it interacted. This enables classification of bonds such as C-H, CN, C=O, C=C, NHx, NOx, SOx, POx, ClOx, and OH. In addition to the two imaging subsystems and a DUV laser spectrometer, the Mars 2020 rover carries an external SHERLOC Calibration Target (SCT). The SCT is affixed to the front of the rover and includes ten calibration targets to enable instrument calibration on the Mars Surface. Figure 1 captures the ten calibration targets and their location within the calibration target palette. Figure 1 SHERLOC Calibration Target (SCT) The calibration target material is being identified as: (0) NA (1) AlGaN on Sapphire Raman Region (~262 nm peak) (2) Diffusil Diffuser (Bubbled Silica) (3) Mars Meteorite SaU 008 (4) Intensity Target (Chromium on Silica) (5) AlGaN on Sapphire Fluorescence Region (~335 nm peak) (6) Polycarbonate Over Opal Glass Geocache (7) Vectran Fabric (8) Orthofabric (9) Teflon Fabric (10) nGimat Coated Teflon Fabric For detail descriptive information on the SCT and each of the targets, refer to Ref [13], Ref [15], and Ref [18].
