"Engineers at NASA have developed and tested NASA’s first full-scale rotating detonation rocket engine, or RDRE

The RDRE differs from a traditional rocket engine by generating thrust using a supersonic combustion phenomenon known as a detonation.

This design produces more power while using less fuel than today’s propulsion systems and has the potential to power both human landers and interplanetary vehicles to deep space destinations, such as the Moon and Mars. "

If only it was open sourced on github, we would've had copies for you :P

The Demographic history of Palestine from the 1st Century AD to 1947. It's fascinating how long the population stayed majority Christian after being conquered by the Arabs.

Just like Egypt, it wasn't until ~600 years after the Arabs conquered the area when Islam finally became the majority religion of the area.
