China has always had the upper hand in terms of technology, whether it is making superfast trains or weapons. The country is also conducting new research and developments in the defence sector every day. Recently, Beijing has claimed to have developed a technology through which it can destroy its enemy anywhere on Earth in just 30 minutes. Britain and the United States are also chasing the technology and need five more years to develop such a technology that will defy this claim of the Dragon.
Recently, researchers of People's Liberation Army Rocket Force have claimed that they have developed a hypersonic missile that can travel at a speed of 13,000 miles per hour. It means that the deadly missile can target any location across the world within 30 minutes. The report was published in China's academic journal Acta Aeronautica et Astronautica Sinica.

Shubhanshu Shukla likely to return to India this weekend; may meet PM Narendra Modi, will attend National Space Day celebrations
NEW DELHI: Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla , the second Indian to travel to space and the first to visit the International Space Station (ISS), is expected to arrive in India this weekend, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said. Shukla is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his short stay in Delhi before heading to his hometown, Lucknow, to meet his family. He will return to Delhi for the National Space Day celebrations on August 23, the minister added. Shukla was part of the Axiom-4 private space mission, which lifted off from Florida on June 25 and docked at the ISS on June 26. Alongside astronauts Peggy Whitson (US), Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski (Poland), and Tibor Kapu (Hungary), he conducted over 60 experiments and 20 outreach sessions during the 18-day mission. The Dragon spacecraft carrying the crew splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the San Diego coast on July 15, marking the successful completion of the mission. The Axiom-4 mission is seen as a significant milestone for India's human spaceflight programme, Gaganyaan, which is targeting a launch by 2027. Prime Minister Modi praised Shukla's achievement, saying he has inspired a billion dreams and taken a major step in advancing India's space ambitions.

Four astronauts home from space station after splashdown
An international crew of four astronauts is back home on Earth Saturday after nearly five months aboard the International Space Station, returning safely in a SpaceX capsule. The spacecraft carrying U.S. astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan's Takuya Onishi and Russian cosmonaut Kirill Peskov splashed down off California's coast at 8:44 am local time (1534 GMT). Their return marks the end of the 10th crew rotation mission to the space station under NASA's Commercial Crew Program, which was created to succeed the Space Shuttle era by partnering with private industry. The Dragon capsule of billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX company detached from the International Space Station (ISS) at 2215 GMT on Friday. When these capsules reenter Earth's atmosphere, they heat up to 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,925 Celsius), according to NASA. Atmospheric reentry -- then the deployment of huge parachutes when the capsule gets closer to Earth -- slows its speed from 17,500 miles (28,100 kilometers ) per hour to just 16 miles per hour. After the capsule splashed down, it was recovered by a SpaceX ship and hoisted aboard. Only then were the astronauts able to breathe Earth's air again, for the first time in months. The crew will now fly to Houston to be reunited with their families. They conducted numerous scientific experiments during their time on the space station, including studying plant growth, how cells react to gravity, and the effect of microgravity on human eyes. - 'Bittersweet' return - NASA acting Administrator Sean Duffy praised the successful mission. "Our crew missions are the building blocks for long-duration, human exploration pushing the boundaries of what's possible," he said in a NASA statement. McClain said her farewell to the ISS was "bittersweet" because she may never return. "Every day, this mission depends on people from all over the world," she wrote on X. "It depends on government and commercial entities, it depends on all political parties, and it depends on commitment to an unchanged goal over many years and decades." NASA said last month it would lose about 20 percent of its workforce -- around 3,900 employees -- under cuts from the US President Donald Trump's sweeping effort to trim the federal workforce. Trump has meanwhile prioritized crewed missions to the Moon and Mars. The Crew-10's launch into space in March allowed two US astronauts to return home after being unexpectedly stuck aboard the space station for nine months. When they launched in June 2024, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were only supposed to spend eight days in space on a test of the Boeing Starliner's first crewed flight. However, the spaceship developed propulsion problems and was deemed unfit to fly back, leaving them in space for an indefinite period. NASA announced this week that Wilmore has decided to retire after 25 years of service at the US space agency. Last week, US astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan's Kimiya Yui and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Platonov boarded the ISS for a six-month mission.

Astronauts return to Earth after 5 months on the ISS in SpaceX capsule
Four astronauts from NASA's Crew-10 mission returned on Saturday (August 9) to Earth and were helped out of SpaceX's Dragon capsule after a five-month crew rotation mission at the orbiting lab. U.S. astronauts Nichole Ayers and Anne McClain, the Crew-10 commander, boarded the gumdrop-shaped Dragon capsule on Friday afternoon along with Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi and Russian cosmonaut Kirill Peskov ahead of a 17.5-hour trek back to Earth to a splashdown site off the California coast.
