Earlier this year, the space shuttle Atlantis sat waiting, as there were problems that needed to be ironed out before it could be launched
on its mission to the Hubble Telescope, itself needing urgent repairs. With a major fault in one of its mirrors, it seemed the telescope
was destined to be the world’s most expensive piece of junk. Recently a new car made its debut. The Panamera by Porsche is the
company’s grand touring sports car. It retains the looks of the traditional Porsche, but has four doors. It also has space – a feature not
generally associated with the Porsche name. Meanwhile in China, electric bikes look set to take over from traditional push-bikes as
there is less peddling involved, and it’s a fast and effective way to bypass traffic congestion.
