Space has become something of a commercial gold rush in the past 10 years or more, with new opportunities increasingly opening up for, and attracting, companies and individuals from many backgrounds.
Right now, as many of you will know, a student or maybe a group of students could build a “CubeSat” satellite for a few thousand dollars and find a rocket to take it up into space for a fee of around $40,000. So, for less than $50,000, they could legitimately call their enterprise a “space company”.
For the generation that grew up watching NASA and only NASA fly to space and back using the Space Shuttle and traditional rockets, this is difficult to believe. I suppose younger people have grown up in a time of unprecedented opportunity, at least in terms of space. [Read more…] about Top 10 space robotics companies: Commercialising the final frontier

Energy in whatever form it takes or from a myriad of sources, is highly important for a myriad of processes to take place, both domestically and in industry. While many of these sources are viable, the topic of this read, LPG gas vaporizers are especially beneficial for a myriad of reasons that are owing to their nature.
The most vital aspect of the vaporizers in question is their ability to make what they carry ready for designated use but said benefit bleeds into others that are worth mentioning according to I-Maximum.
Let’s check said benefits by further understanding what the device in question is in great detail, after which the advantage list will follow. [Read more…] about A comprehensive guide to LPG gas vaporizers: features and benefits
