Now obviously doing so would be incredibly expensive and time-consuming but given how vast these outer planets are, if we just put an unmanned spacecraft in orbit around them, and scoop up material and condense it, and send it back to Earth somehow, could this be done?

Of course getting anything into orbit is expensive, on the order of tens of thousands of USD just for one kilogram but even just one mission to collect say 50 cubic meters of Jovian gas and condensing it… now depending on the potency of the gas… could it be practical?

Solar Energy is the wave of the future and growing.. I’m also looking overseas perhaps Germany? Any advice would be helpful!

I live in Vegas where it gets pretty hot. So I was thinking of getting solar screens on the windows . They say it cuts down on utility bills ( air conditioning) and even heating bills in the winter. The thing is the sun is a scorcher here. Any input ? Plus they seem costly.
