Dwarf Planets, Water Plumes, and Bouncy Castles in Orbit: All the Best Space Stuff From 2016
This year, we kicked things off by telling you how deadly and difficult space is to explore. It can kill you with radiation, giant flying space rocks, and regular old time. And those are just a few of its weapons. But while space is a pretty dangerous place, it's also incredibly inspirational. If you take science fiction as your model--which we often do--people are at their best when faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge.
10 top space stories of 2016
A number of high-profile missions lifted off, others reached their destinations after long journeys through deep space, and a few, sadly, crashed and burned. Some of the most exciting spaceflight action of 2016 involved rockets coming down rather than going up. California-based company SpaceX managed to land the first stage of five different Falcon 9 rockets during operational orbital launches this year; one of the boosters touched down back at the launch pad, whereas the other four landed on robotic "drone ships" stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. And the Washington-based company Blue Origin launched and landed the same suborbital New Shepard rocket four times this year, finally retiring the booster after a successful October test flight . Both SpaceX and Blue Origin -- which are headed by billionaire entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, respectively -- aim to develop fully reusable rockets as a way to slash the cost of spaceflight and open up the heavens to exploration.

RECOVERY EFFORT Second recorder found from Russian plane crash
MOSCOW – Search teams on Wednesday recovered another flight recorder from a military plane that crashed in the Black Sea, killing all 92 aboard, the Defense Ministry said. The first flight recorder was found the previous day and experts have started analyzing its data to determine the cause of the crash. The Tu-154 of the Russian Defense Ministry crashed into the sea early Sunday, two minutes after taking off in good weather from the city of Sochi. It was carrying members of the Alexandrov Ensemble, widely known as the Red Army Choir, to a New Year's concert at a Russian military base in Syria. The Defense Ministry said 15 bodies and 239 body fragments have been recovered from the crash site. It previously said 17 bodies had been found.

The Future of Work -- Boosting Productivity in 2017 and Beyond
There are parts of the future that are certain. While some technological advances, like the internet and the mobile app ecosphere, have changed the world in unpredictable ways, everyone knew the Information Age would define the 21st century. Now the world is entering another turbulent era that the World Economic Forum has referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Political and business leaders from around the world gathered to try to peer into the future of work based on hard economic facts. This collection of leaders started from the premise that "developments in genetics, artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, 3D printing and biotechnology, to name just a few, are all building on and amplifying one another. This will lay the foundation for a revolution more comprehensive and all-encompassing than anything we have ever seen."
AI and the sharing economy: how Expedia views the future of travel
Expedia is the most recognisable brand in the world of online travel and owns several others, including Hotels.com and Trivago. Its companies operate more than 100 branded points of sale in over 60 countries. As a parent company, Expedia has made a steady flow of acquisitions over the past 15 years, and last year stepped up its M&A strategy with the takeovers of online travel agencies Travelocity and Orbitz, and holiday rental website HomeAway. A major goal in this M&A activity is to control and maintain Expedia's market-leading position in an increasingly competitive market for online travel booking, and is reflective of a general industry trend towards consolidation. Expedia was the first online travel giant and has been at the forefront of the transition in the way people book holidays, but that counts for little in the disruptive world of digital.
