OPINION - Tech & Science Daily podcast: London to Sydney in two hours via space

It’s being reported that the UK Civil Aviation Authority is funding medical studies into the effects of suborbital space flights, in which passengers could go into space for a short period of time, before descending to their destination.

The actor picked up the best leading actress award for her role in ‘I Am Ruth’, which tells the story of a mother and child - who is dealing with mental health issues due to pressures from the online world.

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, David Tinker from ProReal tells Tech & Science Daily how his company is using virtual reality software Rethinkly to help people beat stress at work.

‘Rethinkly’ is currently being used in 16 NHS Trusts across the UK.
