To create a future where air taxis are a regular form of transportation, passengers need to be comfortable. That's why researchers at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California are exploring how passengers may experience an air taxi ride by building a custom virtual reality flight simulator.

South Korea's military said Friday it had successfully retrieved a large chunk of a crashed North Korean space rocket from the sea bed after 15 days of complex salvage operations.
North Korea attempted to put its first military spy satellite into orbit on May 31, but the projectile and its payload crashed into the sea shortly after launch due to what Pyongyang said was a rocket failure.

Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Missing nitrogen atoms have been suggested to be the atomic structure responsible for this activity, but it is difficult to controllably remove them.

The UK-based company Pulsar Fusion, specializing in nuclear fusion, has announced a collaboration with the US firm, Princeton Satellite Systems. The collaboration will employ artificial intelligence (AI) in the design of a space rocket, aiming for a notably increased speed. This improvement could significantly decrease the mission time to Saturn's moons, reaching them in approximately two years.
