NASA funding DRACO nuclear thermal rocket engine under deal with DARPA - Breaking Defense
"When people like to question the validity or usefulness of this engine, I point them to Wernher von Braun," said Tabitha Dodson, DRACO program manager at DARPA, "because this was more or less his idea."

laser imaging system developed by Dr Yogeshwar Nath Mishra ( son of a farmer from UP) and his colleagues is 1000 times faster than existing imaging technology for combustion. can help in the study of nanoparticles in flames. Mishra has achieved something that can make a significant change in the understanding of combustion. Regular cameras have 30 frames per second when it comes to capturing images. they have achieved 12.5 billion frames per second.
Radical NASA Propulsion Concept Could Reach Interstellar Space in Under 5 Years
A newly proposed propulsion system could theoretically beam a heavy spacecraft to outside the confines of our Solar System in less than 5 years – a feat that took the historic Voyager 1 probe 35 years to achieve.
