NASA has been pushing the safety features on its next-generation Orion spacecraft to the extreme, as it carried out a dramatic parachute test. During the test, engineers staged the failure of various components of the descent system in order to see if it would still function.

NASA is another step closer to manned deep-space missions with the completion of the latest round of RS-25 rocket engine tests. Based on the engines that sent the Space Shuttle into orbit, the new power plants will form the core of the Space Launch System (SLS).

Since asteroids have the potential to do to Earth what rolled newspapers do to flies, ESA is developing a telescope based on a fly’s compound eye as a new asteroid-hunting tool that could be the basis for a new asteroid defense network.

After over two years on Mars, NASA’s Curiosity rover has reached its primary objective, Mount Sharp. Located in the center of Gale Crater, this will be the centerpiece of a new program of study to locate areas where could or once could have supported microbial life.

The R nineT is a refreshing bit of reminiscence from a brand in transition. It oozes class and quality from every pore and it's on 12-month waiting lists in many countries as a result. It rides well, but it makes some sacrifices at the altar of beauty.

Though smartwatches and big curved UHD televisions were just about everywhere at IFA 2014, exhibitors had plenty of other gadgets and gizmos to show to the bustling crowds pounding the halls of Berlin's Messe. Gizmag looks back at IFA 2104.
