Today, the U.S. Marine Corps celebrated the end of more than half a century of Harrier ‘jump jet’ operations with a sundown ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in North Carolina. For more than 20 percent of the history of the republic, the British-originated jump jet helped to defend America.

Log-in here if you’re already a subscriber The swanky interior of one of United Airlines’ newest Boeing 787-9s is a lodestar for the future of U.S. aviation — and a throwback to a bygone era. Two-thirds of the 206-foot-long airplane is earmarked for premium seating. You won’t see an economy class seat until after the aircraft’s third set of exit doors behind the wing. It’s a layout reminiscent of the start of the jet age almost seven decades ago, when carriers catered to those who could afford pricey fares to cover the high cost of flying. Back then, a round-trip…

A statement released by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), CACL’s parent company, declared the first flight of the Long March 12B a “complete success” in a post-launch statement. “This launch adds another high-capacity commercial rocket to [China’s] fleet for large-scale Internet constellation networking missions,” CASC said. “No recovery tests were conducted during this mission; however, first-stage recovery tests are scheduled to be carried out at a later, opportune time.”…

Equipped with rock picks and hand lenses, a team of geoscientists deployed to the Mojave Desert recently to investigate a tantalizing “fingerprint” detected by a NASA sensor. Their target: a cache of topaz hiding in plain sight. The geologists weren’t searching for gem-grade treasure. Rather, the presence of topaz could hint at a more valuable deposit below of something known as porphyry copper. One of the world’s primary sources of copper, these deposits are left behind when magma and hot water from deep underground course through Earth’s crust, chemically transforming the surrounding rock. This tends to occur where one tectonic…
