Java has some major design flaws, but it's one of the easiest languages to develop in. Unfortunately that's meant that there are a lot of...
No, SpaceX makes rockets and capsules that fly in space and the Skylon side of Reaction Engines makes research programs. The people at Reaction...
The problem with Skylon is that the development cost is enormous and the cost to orbit is about the same as SpaceX claim they can achieve once...

Indeed. Our ancestors tried electric cars and they switched to ICE cars as soon as that became viable because the ICE solved most of the problems...
*Cough* JWST *Cough* Sure, it probably will do something useful, but it seems to be sucking up much of the funding for space science and some people...
The problem with increasing NASA's budget is that the more money they have, the more they can waste. NASA spend about half a billion dollars putting...
Wow. A whole 'millions'. I can't speak for any other country, but every time I've seen a study of smoking in the UK the conclusion has been that...
