NASA’s Nuclear Rocket Could Reach Mars in 4 Months — Here’s How It Works
NASA's SR-1 Freedom spacecraft, powered by a nuclear thermal reactor, is targeting a December 2028 Mars launch — and its engine design could slash the 8-month chemical-rocket journey down to roughly four months.
59% of Syria’s Ancient Sites Were Looted — Satellites Proved It
New satellite-based research found that 59 percent of systematically surveyed Syrian archaeological sites show confirmed looting damage — a fourfold rise from 2011 levels that reveals organised extraction networks operating even as active fighting wound down.

Agnikul Cosmos Reached Orbit on Attempt One — With a 3D-Printed Engine
Chennai startup Agnikul Cosmos launched its Agnibaan rocket to orbit on the first attempt, powered by the Agnilet — the world's first single-piece 3D-printed rocket engine. SpaceX needed four tries before its Falcon 1 reached orbit in 2008.Load More
