Oh dear, not as brainy as HAL - A group of bonuses on University Challenge has just been announced as being “on the 60th anniversary of the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey”. Sorry, UC researchers, you're 10 years out! You lose 5 points!

James Webb (left) was the 2nd NASA Administrator, and the last day of his term was #today in 1968! It's also his birthday! Here he is with Abe Silverstein, at the time, the director of the Lewis Research Center! The James Webb Space Telescope (@NASAWebb) is named after Mr. Webb!

We all love space exploration. Nobody ever wants anything to go wrong on a mission, but when something does go wrong, and the crew returns safely to Earth, that’s when you fully appreciate the outstanding awesomeness of what @NASA and all the #aerospace teams involved really do!
