Traveling abroad by airplane is nothing short of delightful. After taking a seat, few things are as exciting as imagining where to go and what to do before takeoff. Yet there is something that can make that joy fade. It is the long flight. Being confined for 10 hours or more in a cramped cabin and exposed to pounding engine noise inevitably wears the body down.

A rocket built to orbit Earth was launched from European soil for the first time in history. Until now, because there was no launch site within the region, European countries had to go to South America to launch rockets. Observers say this widens the path to securing ‘space sovereignty'.

For the first time in the world, a drone has been developed that can touch down stably on a steep ice wall without slipping. Sharp claws are mounted at the tips of its legs, and an idea that uses the propellers' thrust to increase adhesion to ice has been applied to the airframe. It looks set to become new equipment for stable exploration in polar regions.

Traveling abroad by airplane is pure joy. Few things are as exciting as sitting in your seat before takeoff and imagining where you will go and what you will do. But there is something that can make you forget that joy: long flights. When you are exposed for over 10 hours to a cramped cabin and engine noise that pounds your ears, your body inevitably tires.

High-performance artificial intelligence (AI) has arrived that automatically analyzes photos of the Moon's surface and identifies various features without a human scientist having to handle them one by one.
