China and the arms race in space

Outside scrutiny of China has, understandably, been muted in the weeks following the Sichuan earthquake. But a new battle of strength between Asia’s emerging superpower and the US is fast emerging - in the skies. In comments reported this week, Chinese military bigwigs have warned that an arms race in space is “unstoppable”.

Last month, Brigadier General Jeffrey Horne, from the US Strategic Command, told a congessional advisory group that China was “aggressively” developing its ability to shoot down satellites, technology he predicted could be used in a…

GM Says Americans Won’t Give Up SUVs, But They’ll Plug Them

Bob Lutz says the future of the automobile can be summed up in two words: Proportion and propulsion. That’s a snappy way of saying big cars aren’t going anywhere, but at least they’ll be electric.

I think it rather funny to hear the obsolete logic of some environmetnalists from the 70's, who feel that only small is efficient and that we must be efficient to amange. Both concepts are fraud - an electric car's efficiency depends…

It might seem surprising that cash-strapped Delta would be the first customer to order the Cozy Suite, but the seats will provide the airline with competitive advantage in the brutally competitive transatlantic market. And from a business…

Space ’spiderwebs’ could propel future probes

A new type of solar sail has been woven by a team of scientists in Finland. The spiderweb-like sail is designed to catch the wind of ionised gas that blows from the Sun, carrying spacecraft to the outer reaches of the solar system, or letting them tack back and forth through the asteroid belt on exploration or mining missions.

A test mission, to see whether the method works, might involve eight ribbons about a kilometre long, towing a small spacecraft carrying an accelerometer. Janhunen then envisages full-scale missions with up to 100 ribbons, each 20 km long,…
