he has followed in the footsteps of german entrepreneur gerhard zucker, who tried to send mail by rocketoped a new robotic thread which could help treat blood clots in stroke patients. the thread is steered by magnets instead of the current hand—operated method, potentially making it safer for both patients and surgeons. it is hoped, in the future, procedures could even be carried out remotely. and finally, is that obi—wan bon jovi? no, it is the lego droid 0rchestra. they took 3,000 hours assembling 30 ipads, 46 r2—d2s, 25 gonks and 2a mouse droids to recreate the iconic star wars theme. a truly stellar performance. in the uk 1 in 2 of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in our lifetimes. that is a terrifying statistic. yet unless you or someone close to you has been through it, it can be hard to really comprehend the experience. and while everyone's journey is different, one woman has made a vr experience to illustrate hers. it is the last chemo today... bafta award—winning filmmaker victoria mapplebeck has created "the waiting room", combining a smartphone—shot video docume

his name was gerhard zucker and this was a test launch in germany. persisted. in 193a, zucker came to britain. was he a scientist or actually a bit of a scoundrel? the question is was his intention to develop a serious alternative to mail being carried via a rocket? was that the plan? or was the plan to make money by selling stamps which were attached to letters, which had gone on this ride in a rocket? but zucker ignored the suspicions and went ahead with this test flight to take mail across the solent. but it was another first class disaster — wind blowing the rocket into oblivion. so, is rocket mail really possible? well, a bbc team decided to find out. they asked richard browning, a pioneer ofjet suits, to make the same solent crossing... here it looks like that's longer than 1.3 kilometers or whatever it's supposed to be. ..carrying a letter. travelling slightly faster than your average postie, it took just 75 seconds. so, i think i've got a delivery to make. i'm going to go and find the recipient. 85 years late, perhaps, but gerhard zucker‘s id
