The Electric Engine.
A new type of propulsion will see air travel on this planet revolutionised over the next one-hundred years and will also lay the bases perhaps for Martian flight and also on other Moons and Planets in our Solar-system.
You will have the go yourself to the NASA site to check it out, because it is to complicated to explain it here. There are many new ideas about getting into space at the moment and many nations have their own takes, but the questions is who will be the first apart from the United States?
Meanwhile the recent successful Solar powered around the world flight will lead to solar powered machines for mars and the Moons of Saturn and Jupiter!

Space and Under the Oceans.
The race is on?
The need now to develop a replacement of the U.S. Space shuttle is now well underway with Boeing taking the lead, all of this is based on British ideas from forty years ago of designing a re-usable space plane. The former Space shuttle was a great spacecraft, but it became a glider on return, Soviet Russia developed a totally robotic version known as the Buran, but it was also technically a glider on return to Earth.
Britain and Europe were working on a rocket aircraft that was manoeuvrable going up and coming down and could be diverted if the weather was causing problems. Meanwhile there are many new underwater developments, which are connected as much to future space travel to planets and Moons in our solar system, which may have oceans worth investigating either with robotic and eventually manned missions.

Underwater Cities.
Jules Verne.
It is probably to expensive to build a underwater city that is imagined in 19th Century science-fiction and would they really be viable? It has been the development of the nuclear deep water capable submarines that perhaps has put to bed this concept.
There are some inshore underwater observatories and most for tourism, rather than science around the world. But it would still remain an advantage to build a base to study the potentials for even future planetary expeditions say to Titan and some of the moons of both Saturn and Jupiter?
