Successful test for engine to power missile 5 times speed of sound

A new engine design to power a state-of-the-art hypersonic cruise missile has been successfully tested for UK armed forces.
It could reach to excess of five times the speed of sound and revolutionise warfare.
The speed and manoeuvring ability would make such weapons extremely difficult to detect and strike targets so hard that they can destroy them by momentum.
Currently most hypersonic test missiles are shot by a rocket motor to high altitude.
As they glide down they accelerate to hypersonic speed.
The new engine would instead give it greater range and the ability to fly at much lower altitudes making it much more difficult to intercept.
Exact details of its workings have not been revealed.
Britain’s Ministry of Defence says the new engine has gone through 233 static test runs in a hypersonic wind tunnel as part of its Team Hypersonic (UK) program.

It’s literally slower than watching Australia drift north’: the laboratory experiment that will outlive us all
For more than 90 years, a funnel of pitch in Brisbane has been slowly dripping into a beaker. Nine drops have fallen, now the long wait for the tenth is on.
The pitch drop experiment was first set up by Mainstone's predecessor Thomas Parnell in 1927. Parnell heated and liquefied some pitch, poured it into a sealed funnel, and set it over the beaker inside a large bell jar. In 1930, he cut the stem of the funnel – and waited.
Nearly a century later, the original experiment - which has become the longest running laboratory experiment in the world – stands in the foyer of the physics building in the Great Court. The jar is set inside a protective plastic cube, with an analogue Casio desk clock observing each moment as students and staff wander past. The funnel is held aloft by a brass tripod; at the bottom, a shiny black balloon of pitch hovers above the empty beaker.
On a Friday afternoon in April 1979, John Mainstone, a physics professor at the University of Queensland, rang his wife at home. He wouldn’t be back that evening, he told her. For the previous 18 years, Mainstone had looked after the pitch drop experiment, a long-form demonstration of the extreme viscosity of pitch. For the first time since August 1970, the pitch was about to drip from its funnel, and Mainstone didn’t want to miss it.
Recognised by the Guiness Book of Records as the longest running scientific experiment in the world. The first Professor of Physics at the University of Queensland, Professor Thomas Parnell, began the experiment in 1927. In the more than 80 years that the pitch has been dripping no-one has ever seen the drop fall. There is now a live video feed accessible via the website. The third custodian of the Pitch Drop Experiment is Prof. Andrew White. Brisbane. Australia.

US space agency NASA have unveiled testing for a new rover which will be used on the Moon ahead of the return of humans to the lunar surface.The VIPER mission is due to launch in 2023.The mission is named after the rover with VIPER standing for The Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover.The rover will autonomously explore the Moon hunting for water ice.It will look around the moon’s south pole, where previous research suggests that there could be ice inside lunar craters.Finding a supply of water on the moon could be invaluable for future crewed missions there, when moon explorers will need access to resources.Ahead of the mission, the rover needs to be tweaked and perfected to deal with the lunar terrain.The surface is very dusty but because the Moon has no atmosphere, there is no wind, which means no erosion. That means dust particles are sharp like tiny pieces of glass, making it potentially damaging to electronics and difficult to manoeuvre through.To get VIPER ready, NASA has been working with a test version of the rover here on Earth in its Simulated Lunar Operations Laboratory, or SLOPE bed.
