How DARPA shaped our modern world
It's been 60 years since the Pentagon founded the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Some of its inventions helped create the internet, drones and Siri. CBS News reporter Kylie Atwood takes a look at the agency's history and joins CBSN's "Red & Blue" with more.

CHINA PUSHES THE LIMITS OF FLIGHT WITH HYPERSONIC TECHNOLOGY China stunned the global aerospace community after reports confirmed successful tests of a hypersonic flight vehicle capable of reaching speeds around 8,100 km/h—well beyond Mach 5, the threshold that defines hypersonic travel. At these speeds, aircraft don’t just fly through air—they reshape it. Important Details: • Hypersonic speed begins at Mach 5 (over 6,100 km/h at altitude) • Reported test speeds approach 8,100 km/h (≈ Mach 6–7)

China recently unveiled a hypersonic prototype, the GDF-600, which reached a staggering speed of Mach 6.56 (approximately 8,100 km/h) during advanced test flights. This vehicle is designed not just for speed, but for versatility, capable of carrying up to 1.2 tons of weapons or submunitions including drones and missiles. The engineering behind this feat relies on a scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet), an engine that uses the vehicle's own high velocity to compress incoming air for combustion
