The US and its allies are determined to be first out of the gate with hypersonic weapons, and they've just taken a big stride forward in that regard... not that they're saying much about it. Both the US and Australia have confirmed that they recentl...
China's space program has largely run smoothly (with notable exceptions), but it just ran into a serious obstacle. State media reports that a new heavy-duty rocket, the Long March 5 Y2, failed shortly after launch. Xinhua would only say that an "an...
After weeks of delays, NASA has finally launched its Terrier-Improved Malemute rocket into the space and created a stunning show of artificial clouds in the night sky. The clouds that displayed red,...
Don't look now, but American spaceflight just dodged a bullet. Senators have passed an amendment to an Iran-Russia sanctions bill that, if gone unchecked, would have barred both NASA and private outfits from using Russian rocket engines. The original...
The field of quantum cryptography, which seeks to transmit encrypted information using entangled quantum particles like photons, could help lay the groundwork for tomorrow's quantum networks but it faces a significant physical hurdle: entangled photo...

SpaceX is no longer limited to reusing rockets -- it's reusing capsules, too. The private spaceflight outfit has launched a refurbished Dragon cargo capsule (namely, one last used in September 2014) as part of a resupply mission to the International...
Another fidget spinner. I promised myself I wouldn’t post another article about them. Because they suck. And I keep getting sucked back in because people are actually doing some interesting things with these idiotic toys. So the boss is like, write it, and I write it, but I am so done with these things. This time, we have a rocket-powered fidget spinner.
The Backyard Scientist took some model rocket engines, and attached them to a custom spinner, making it crazy fast and crazy dangerous.
This phenomenon can be over now. Right? Please stop it with the fidget spinners everyone. You can’t top a rocket-propelled, right? Unless you make a giant sized, multi-spinner with rockets, of course.
FYI fidgeters, stop fidgeting and learn some control, but if you really have to, real men use rocket powered fidget spinners in their hand. (No please don’t try that. But it’s true, so just stop it. You aren’t that manly.)
