New idea to revolutionize space exploration, The Yo-yo spaceprobe

Mr nprev have involuntarily put me on the track with the proposal to reuse the New Horizons platform.
But why only borrow from the spacecraft design when you can reuse the spacecraft itself? This led me to the proposal for the Yo-yo exploration spaceprobe!

Unique solution

The Yo-yo spacecraft solves several of the problems that have ridden space explorations for decades.

All you need are a swinging homebase, so the Moon are one obviou choice. And secondly a good enough bearing system on the Yo-yo spaceprobe.

The Yo-yo spacecraft will also be able to return to base for refitting and then sent to new targets. When the spacecraft returns for refitting you can change whatever instruments you need for the next target and then send the spacecraft out on the next satellite or planet you’d like to explore.
By making it spin stabilized (something that comes inheritably with this design) it will not only save on fuel for stabilization but also be able to return or make several swingbys!

Many persons would like to publish their idea in one well known publication so that it will be saved for posteriority that they are the originator of the grand idea.
Not me, im too humble and give the idea away to you at UMSF - no strings attached!
