Astronauts and polar bears? In one place?!?!? Well, no, two places: New quizzes!
Project Gemini. Did you know what NASA project came between Mercury and Apollo? Yeah, neither did I. I wasn’t born yet, you see. But now I want to take a field trip down to the Air & Space Museum to check out the capsule they’ve got on display.
Polar Science. Ah, this one was fun. I like the poles. You will do better on this quiz if you have seen Encounters at the End of the World, the Werner Herzog documentary about Antarctica. It’s a great movie, so you should see it even if you don’t organize your life around doing better on my quizzes.

I got 6 right on the Antarctica quiz – I’ve never done that well before! I’m so pleased that the original south pole station really is under 30 feet of ice – I really wanted that to be the right answer, and you didn’t disappoint!
