- Geek Trivia: Stunt double to the stars
- QuibbleI found your disscussion of the death start interesting, but I must quibble with the following statement; "These same comparisons would reappear in 2005, when the Cassini probe made another pass by Saturn and grabbed still better pictures of Mimas..."

- Geek Trivia: Lost in space (shuttle)
- What is the name and origin of NASA craft OV-098, unofficially known as the "eighth space shuttle"? For all those die-hard Star Trek fans out there still disappointed that NASA "wasted" the name Enterprise on a shuttle mockup that never saw space, take heart—it wasn't supposed...

- Geek Trivia: A far side collection
- When so-called conspiracy theorists rattle off a patented rant about how the government faked all the Apollo moon landings on a movie soundstage at Area 51, many of us have no doubt wondered why NASA doesn't just point a big honking telescope at the moon to show the doubting Thomases...

- Geek Trivia: Flying by the (ejection) seat of your pants
- How can eight feet of data cable potentially save the U.S. government about $2 billion? Well, when that data cable actually allows NASA to remotely pilot a damaged space shuttle down from orbit -- rather than just letting it burn up on reentry -- you wonder how the space agency...

- Geek Trivia: Rising from the ashes
- Technically, you're wrong.[Quote](Technically, Challenger itself did not explode—rather, extreme g-forces caused by a severe malfunction in one of the spacecraft's solid rocket boosters tore it apart. As such, the disaster wrought surprisingly little fire damage on the cargo.)[/Quote]This is VERY incorrect. What destroyed Challenger was technically an explosion of...

- I've always wondered...I've always wondered why his arm never ripped off every time he tried to pick up something heavy- it's not as it his body had a super-structure built in to withstand the shearing force created.Any links?I'm one of the 'young crowd' out there who never actually saw this...

- Geek Trivia: Holiest of holes
- While there is still considerable debate about what, exactly, killed off the dinosaurs, one of the most compelling theories is that Mexico did it. Or, rather, that 65 million years ago, a 10-kilometer-wide meteor slammed into the landmass that would later become part of contemporary Mexico -- thereby throwing a...
