While an interesting idea, there is no evidence that this topic has received sustained coverage. Coverage is limited to the grant announcement and is mostly based on a blog post [1] by the creator of this idea – the only source currently cited is probably the best, but even this one describes the grant as "small" and says "It's unlikely that TitanAir will make it to the outer solar system anytime soon".

In addition to the CNET article cited, other sources I found include [2] (no sigcov), [3] (also no sigcov), [4] (deprecated at RSP), and [5] (also not sigcov). All of these are based solely on the grant announcement, demonstrating no significant coverage and limited value as secondary sources. There are a few more similar articles on the web.

Delete. Most of the results on Google are for an air chartering service or any of a number of HVAC companies, none of which meet any of the notability guidelines. Even Google Scholar has more results on HVAC than the NASA proposal. Ships & Space_(Edits) 00:50, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
