Highlights in this week’s wrap:
The British Bloodhound Project team is visiting Hakskeenpan in the Northern Cape and is preparing to send a rocket car roaring down the pan at just over one-thousand six-hundred kilometeres an hour.
Staying with rockets, the hangar that housed Virgin Galactic’s ill-fated SpaceShip Two has an empty space, but at a manufacturing plant just down the road technicians are back at work putting together an identical sister ship.
In environmental news, Members of Parliament have heard that acid mine drainage is affecting the Vaal River system, affecting the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces.
And finally, South Africa is in dire need of more skilled personnel in nuclear science and technology as the country looks to nuclear energy in efforts to combat local electricity shortages.
