When 217 miles per hour isn't fast enough you go back to the drawing board if you're Lucid Motors.

How do you make research in space less expensive? Why not build a space station where half of the structure functions as a luxury hotel–and the other half belongs to NASA's astronauts?

Leave modern concrete structures in the ocean, and a few decades later they'll be in need of replacing, or at least a serious patch job.

NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) is keenly interested in nanotechnology – an approach that can reduce the mass and improve the performance of aerospace systems.
