Carbon fiber is lighter and stronger than stainless steel, making it a popular material, especially in the last two decades. We now have extensive experience in building and using it for various purposes. For example, it is commonly used in…
I came across this question on Facebook. As expected, it garnered thousands of comments, most of which focused on computers, the internet, and smartphones. Some responses also talked about social media and societal transformations.
As a child growing up in the 1980s, I had already memorized science fiction books from the Golden Age of Science Fiction (1938-1946), especially those by Isaac Asimov. Space always captivated my imagination. The excitement of the moon landing hadn’t…

The story of NASA’s Apollo program is often seen as a peak moment that soon lost its direction. Critics mention the absence of moon bases, Mars landings, or a network of orbital stations, calling the program aimless after the 1969…
Margaret Hamilton is not only one of the first software developers, but she also coined the term ‘Software Engineering’ to describe her work. The code she wrote successfully put humans on the moon for the first time.
