The crossing of a continent in less time than a domestic flight: Germany designs the SpaceLiner to take 50 passengers from Europe to Australia in 90 minutes, using a reusable rocket-plane that takes off like a space launcher, crosses the atmosphere in a hypersonic leap, and lands on a runway like a commercial spacecraft of the future.

He looks alien, and it’s on purpose: the Helios abandons the legs of common humanoid robots and gains four arms to move, anchor, and operate in zero gravity, with the promise of eventually even helping with the maintenance of satellites and structures in orbit.

13 researchers from the USA, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Spain have found new scars from the megaflood that resurrected the Mediterranean: 5.33 million years ago, the Zanclean Flood opened a 20 km wide underwater channel, left more than 300 giant ridges, and had a flow rate up to 500 times greater than that of the Amazon in a geological catastrophe that still challenges science.

More than three times faster than the Concorde, powered by hydrogen and launched by Rocket Lab’s rocket at Mach 7, the DART AE from Australia’s Hypersonix flew with a scramjet entirely 3D printed, with no moving parts, capable of targeting Mach 12, reigniting in full hypersonic flight, and paving the way for aircraft that do not emit CO2 in propulsion.

Interesting facts
While the world is living in 2026, Nepal has already entered 2083 and uses a calendar that intrigues visitors, appears in official documents, and makes astronomers decide when each new year really begins, far from the standard adopted in much of the planet.
