...COOLEST TECHNOLOGIES The diesel-fueled hybrid Opel Astra, which gets 60 m.p.g; Ford's Mercury Meta One, a prototype of a hybrid-powered SUV; and BMW's H2R racer, fueled by liquid hydrogen. GM also will reveal the hybrid system it plans for full-size pickups and SUVs...
...Most Amazing Inventions of 2004 The fascinating success of Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne ["Coolest Inventions 2004," Dec. 6] opens a brilliantly lit pathway out of the gloom and disappointment in which man has been stranded since the Challenger and Columbia space-shuttle disasters.

SpaceShipOne works its way into space and is the most human-friendly space vehicle man has yet devised. Ashoka Weerakkody Colombo, Sri Lanka...

Granted, you have to like graphic art, Finnish sects, and your friends a lot, but if you do it’s an excellent decorating option...
...agree. For solving the problems of suborbital flight and re-entry with ingenious design, for boldly going where NASA now fears to tread and returning without a scratch, but most of all for reigniting the moon-shot-era dream of zero-gravity for everyone, SpaceShipOne is TIME's Coolest Invention...
