"Fawlty Towers" is excellent even though only 12 episodes were ever made (the writers believed they had extracted the best from the series and any more episodes wouldn't be as good) Has "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Mothers_Do_%27Ave_%27Em" " ever been shown on US TV?

According to this article it may be a funnel: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/040415/12/er3ps.html Will we ever know for sure? :confused:

Perhaps the ending of Hubble had already been made but nontheless it would be disappointing to see it go. Would that mean that any possible mission to Pluto (the Pluto-Kuiper Express) would be shelved as well?

Doesn't look good, does it? 3 days after Beagle 2 has landed and still nothing: http://www.guardian.co.uk/spacedocumentary/story/0,2763,1113264,00.html

Great link. :smile: Here's another maths puzzles link to add (can't remember where I came across this but it was a few years ago). Includes puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty depending on the level of your mathematical knowledge: http://www.princeton.edu/~mathclub/puzzles.html

Fustrating. :frown: Did they ever confirm for certain what happened to the Mars Climate Orbiter? Has it (or its wreckage) ever been found or detected?

Could scientists even get remotely close? What is the highest density matter that has ever been formed on Earth?

You know that A (the area) is 154 (square centimetres) so its merely a case of substituting A=154 into the formula and solving for r (given that {\pi} is a known value).

Almost certainly not. There has been life on Antarctica but you have to go back many, many millions of years (long before anything resembling man appeared) to find it.

Plots for sale there's a high street retail chain in the UK that is offering acre plots of the moon for sale for £20 each (just over $30 US). No mention is made which company it is that they are dealing with in selling these plots...

We should find out soon. :smile: If the Huygens probe lands on one of these 'oceans' will it affect the ability of the probe to send back useful data? Or could the probe sink without trace?

Not unless there's any life that can survive 700F++ temperatures... More to the point, is there anything at all that could reverse Venus's runaway greenhouse effect?

Interesting series. With regard to the trans-Atlantic tunnel; a fantastic idea if it could be done. However one problem I don't recall being mentioned in the programme is that of the Atlantic widening by about 3cm per year. Surely that is an obstacle to such a project becoming reality.
