Reusable "Microballoons" could give satellites a run for their money
When it comes to taking high-res aerial photographs, we generally look to satellites, drones or full-size aircraft. Colorado-based Urban Sky's new Microballoon system, however, is claimed to deliver higher-resolution images at a much lower cost.

Hypersonic space cannon promises 10 minutes from ground to orbit
Rockets are expensive, complex, bad for the environment and prone to occasionally exploding - so alternative launch technologies are popping up to reduce their use. We wrote about SpinLaunch's remarkable kinetic launch system earlier this week, which spins a rocket up to incredible speeds on the...
