Nice collection but still somewhat unstructured and mixes large and small thing (which is not a bad thing) as well as some things that are not strictly in this year (though you might mean specific things). Example: "quantum computing", "cube sats". I most liked "Autonomous rocket landing pointy end up". And I didn't get some references ("twitch").

Re: quantum computing, I think it might be referring to this: http://www.gizmag.com/silicon-quantum-computer/39711/

"Quantum computing breakthrough: Qubits made from standard silicon transistors"
