"The world of science and technology has seen two epoch-making breakthroughs in the past week. First, the California-based SpaceX corporation has successfully launched and flown a privately manufactured cargo capsule to the International Space Station, where it was captured and is being unloaded. Afterward, it is to be reloaded with scientific instruments and returned to Earth, where it will be refurbished and reused.
Second, a group of graduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed a food-safe coating which will allow the user of a bottle of ketchup to get those last bits out without messing about with shaking and pounding.
Time will tell which will be the more transformative of the two."
