  • Houston, TX-based Venus Aerospace is developing a hypersonic passenger aircraft designed to travel at Mach 9 or 9-times the speed of sound
  • That type of aviation technology would allow you to go anyplace in the world in an hour or less
  • The plane concept is called Stargazer and at Mach 9 it would fly at speeds of 11,000 kilometers per hour or 6835.08 mph
  • Stargazer is being designed to carry a dozen passengers
  • By comparison, the Concorde supersonic jet flew at Mach 2 and the fastest plane ever recorded flew at Mach 3.2
  • Stargazer is fueled with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and standard Jet A jet fuel
  • It has a revolutionary new type of engine based on "rotating detonation" which is a radical new approach being developed at top aviation innovation centers around the world
  • Stargazer prototype is expected to hit Mach 3 in 2024
  • Stargazer will start flight tests in 2025 & continue them for at least 5 years
  • Two highly respected aerospace experts Dr. Andrew & Sassie Duggleby are the founders of Venus Aerospace & Stargazer is raising hopes of a future filled with hour flights to any place on Earth.

  • BMW will be offering Panoramic Vision, which is highly advanced windshield projection technology in its next-generation electric models in 2025
  • BMW's Neue Klasse cars will have smart windshields that project information over the width of the windshield
  • Part of the iDrive control system, Panoramic Vision will display information important to the driver in a darkened content strip across the bottom of the windshield
  • For the passenger, the windshield will display information more boldly & brightly
  • Bottom line:  Panoramic Vision converts the windshield into a huge display customized by the driver
  • In 2025 BMW will start unveiling 6 new EVs with the new windshield technology, along with next-G batteries and enhanced performance.

  • University of Cambridge scientists have used highly advanced DNA analysis to solve a 200-year-old mystery: what caused composer Beethoven's death at the age of 56 nearly 200 years ago
  • They utilized strands of Beethoven's hair, did a DNA analysis and found that he had a genetically high risk of liver disease
  • They also found that he had suffered a hepatitis B infection before he died in Vienna in 1827
  • Their findings:  the cause of his death was a combination of his high alcohol consumption, high hereditary risk of liver disease & hepatitis B
  • Their research did not find a definitive cause of his hearing loss
  • Beethoven's beloved music includes his beautiful Moonlight Sonata and famously, his 5th and 9th Symphonies.
