What a Ride!
On November 6th, 2015 UP Aerospace Inc. launched the 20-foot (6 meter) tall SL-10 rocket into near-space. The mission: deploy the Maraia Capsule testing the aerodynamics and stability of the payload on re-entry to the atmosphere. The rocket reached an altitude of 396,000ft (120,700 meters) and speeds up to Mach 5.5 (3800mph or 6115km/h) at engine burnout.

More Evidence for an “Alien Megastructure”
Okay, you may have heard about this, but a star has been observed dimming for awhile. One (very unlikely) possibility is that a technologically more advanced civilization could be building a structure around their sun. Interesting.
That bizarre-looking star just got a lot weirder — and yes, it could be aliens

Another Success for the EM Drive Thruster?
This may be very interesting. If the EM Thruster does work, and it seems to, then some of what we understand about Physics may change.
In a new round of testing, NASA confirms yet again that the ‘impossible’ EMdrive thruster works
