The Concorde flew its final flight almost exactly 20 years ago – yet it continues to capture the imaginations of Americans old and young.
Concordes were taken out of service in 2003, about three years after Air France flight 4590 crashed, killing 113 people.
But last week, NASA unveiled its quarter-billion-dollar supersonic X-59 jet, an experimental aircraft that the agency will use to give rise to a new frontier of supersonic passenger jets – Concorde successors.

Max Verstappen has opened up on his relationship with Gianpiero Lambiase after the Red Bull star’s tense exchange with his race engineer during the Belgian Grand Prix caused a stir.

Verstappen unleashed an expletive-ridden rant during qualifying after
A feisty radio exchange between Max Verstappen and Red Bull engineer Gianpiero Lambiase was heard during Belgian GP qualifying, which wouldn’t have gone down well with Christian Horner. The pair came to verbal blows at the end of Q2, as the Dutchman just about scraped through.
Despite Verstappen’s good form, he scraped through to the final Q3 by a whisker at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in what was a huge scare to Red Bull, as he found himself 10th –
Babies born to women without men may have come a step closer after fruit flies were made to have virgin births by scientists.
The first recorded case of a virgin birth in a crocodile earlier this year made headlines around the world – with crocodiles joining a host of animals including chickens, turkeys and Komodo dragons, which can give birth without a male partner, to offspring with only their own DNA.

Fifty-three million years ago, the Earth was much warmer than it is today. Even the Arctic Ocean was a balmy 50 °F—an almost-tropical environment that looked something like Florida, complete with swaying palm trees and roving crocodiles.
Then the world seemed to pivot. The amount of carbon in the atmosphere plummeted, and things began to cool toward today’s “icehouse” conditions, meaning that glaciers can persist well beyond the poles.
What caused the change was, for decades, unclear. Eventually, scientists drilling … Read more
