What is faster than the fastest hypersonic missile?, well a beam of light, microwaves or subatomic particles but they are impossibly small and have almost no mass compared to a projectile. However, if you have enough energy you can make a weapon that works at the speed of light and in theory can shoot down anything projectile weapon we have now. So why don’t we have phasers like in Star Trek?, in this video we look at Directed Energy Weapons and what they can do now and in the future. Mike DoddI have a wide range of views and opinions.

The major nuclear powers have used ICBM’s as the mainstay of their defence strategy for 60 years or so and even built some form of anti-ballistic shield to protect against. But in the last decade or so a new type of hypersonic missiles have been developed that promises to make ICBM’s redundant but will they just fuel a new arms race as everyone one struggles to make them work in a reliable manner. So how do they compare to the decades-old tech of ICBM’s and are they any better? Guest AuthorAll Guest Author Posts are submitted or additional content Wave Chronicle has added to the website.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”, that quote by Benjamin Franklin certainly rings true with this current biological crisis but one day a large asteroid could give us all a very bad day. Thankfully we are starting to take the threat seriously and soon we will be testing to see if hitting a 150m chunk of rock weighing millions of tons can be knocked off a collision course with Earth with a 500kg spacecraft. This is AIDA, the Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment mission that will test out the theories on the double asteroid Didymos.

Far from calm and peaceful, space is a dangerous place with high levels of radiation not only from our sun but from distant supernovas. This is not only dangerous to us but also to the spacecraft themselves with is able to damage the electronics and computers that keep it running and the crew alive in it. So how do they protect the craft and crew with what looks like almost no shielding at all?

What if the moon wasn’t the pristine untouched celestial body that we thought it was when Apollo 11 landed, what if it had already been used as a nuclear testing ground and demonstration of power by the US and the Soviets. Well, that’s what could have happened if the secret USAF Project A119 had gone ahead in 1959, this is the story of that and the yet to be famous person that accidentally revealed the top-secret project.

Far from just the process of refuelling aircraft, it has changed the way we have fought wars in the last 70 years with many of the most well-known conflicts being dominated by airpower, which in turn is supported by air refuelling. This is an insight into this unseen side of the military. This video is sponsored by Fasthosts Written, Researched and Presented by Paul Shillito Images and…
