The E39 Coastal Highway, a massive infrastructure project that is expected to cost approximately $47 billion, is being launched by Norway. Connecting major cities like Kristiansand, Stavanger, Haugesund, Bergen, Ålesund, and Trondheim, the highway will span more than 1,100 kilometers along the western coastline.
Sea Dragon was a design study from 1962 for a two-stage, sea-launched heavy-lift rocket. It is known as the largest rocket ever proposed and the second largest in low Earth orbit (LEO) payload capacity. Despite its impressive specifications, the Sea Dragon was deemed unnecessary as NASA prioritized the development of the Saturn V.
NASA and its international partners have approved the crew for Axiom Space’s fourth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, set to launch from Florida in spring 2025. The Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) will launch aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and aim to spend up to 14 days at the space station, focusing on scientific, outreach, and commercial activities.
Louis Brennan (1852-1932) was an innovative inventor known for creating the Brennan Monorail, a unique single-tracked rail vehicle that utilized two linked gyroscopes for stabilization. Despite the successful demonstrations, Brennan faced challenges in securing investment, and ultimately, the monorail failed to gain traction in the market.
At its peak, Venice rivaled major world capitals such as London and New York in later centuries. However, the city faced unique physical challenges that required various clever medieval engineering solutions, many of which are still in use today.
China's space program has achieved significant milestones, including developing its own space station and successfully landing a rover on Mars. However, many are unaware of the risks involved.
The concept of completely initiating human civilization to a halt, gave rise to Project Sundial, a weapon intended to function as a "backyard bomb" capable of annihilating the entire planet as we know it.
Firefly’s first Blue Ghost mission, "Ghost Riders in the Sky," is set to deliver ten scientific instruments to the Moon under NASA’s CLPS initiative.
Sierra Space has crafted the Dream Chaser, a new innovative and generational spacecraft that will transport cargo and humans into the LEO (low-earth orbit) zone.
For the longest time, NASA and other space corporations needed a way to send and receive more data faster and better. The LCRD (Laser Communication Radio Device) replicates technological advances and is far more efficient than any data system ever before.
The Europa Clipper is a massive spacecraft made by NASA for a mission to Jupiter's moon, Europa. It will travel a super long distance of 1.8 billion miles from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to Europa. The
The NEO Surveyor is set to launch into space somewhere in the year 2027. This futuristic infrared space telescope is designed to detect the most elusive asteroids and comets that could threaten our planet.
