in an unassuming garage in the netherlands, there s an electric car with a secret. no, it s not its ultra light, ultra strong carbon fibre frame, although that is important to the story, and it s not the aerodynamic design that makes it look like a future car from the 1950s, although that is important too. no. look closer at that shiny finish, and you ll see that it s not paint. the entire thing is covered in solar panels solar panels on the bonnet, solar panels on the roof, solar panels instead of a back window. yes, this is a solar powered car, and they call it lightyear one. the first production model will be going on sale this summer. its five square metres of solar panels come in narrow sections that better curve around the body and also mean that if it s parked partly in the shade, the sections that are in the sun still work at full capacity. but even though the battery can take you 440 miles on a single charge, a day s worth of sunlight will only provide about 45 mil

Prosthetics have come a long way, from the l and bionics. Prosthetics have i come a long way, from the early days of wood, tin, or leather to modern limbs made from carbon fibre and silicon. Once basic yet functional, they are now advanced and bionic. And here at atom limbs ive come to see how the latest technology is bringing the next generation of artificial arms. They are developing a prostatic with a full range of human motion that is using signals from the brain to control those movements. The most advanced t
Voiceover this is bbc news. Well have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. Ignition. Its the job of dreams. With an out of this world view. Many would love to be an astronaut but very few make the cut. There you go the European Space agency is pushing boundaries with its latest candidate, john mcfall. Absolutely amazing. This is what it feels like. Woohoo hes an amputee, and hes taking part in a Ground Breaking project to see if someone with a disability can go to space. This project will deliver a very strong message to redefine or define what peoples interpretation of what someone with a physical disability can do. Meet the worlds first Para Astronaut who could open up space for everyone.

But unlike any of the others, he has a physical disability. Now hes taking part in a Ground Breaking project. Being an amputee, being an astronaut was never really on my radar because like the military, you wouldnt pass the medical selection process. I thought i would have the skills, a mix of skills and scientific background that i could really help them answer this very aspirational question of can we get someone with a physical disability into space, to work in space safely . And i thought i could be that person.
