How We’ll Live on Mars by Stephen Petranek: Twenty-First Century Acts

The flight scenario causes me to consider Woody Allen's film Manhattan.

All Earth-Mars-Earth flights demand the same accommodation and service levels, don't they?

Otherwise, we wouldn't want to watch another flight alongside or toward ours -- like the two trains at the film-beginning of the movie Manhattan -- and wish that we would have wended our way to, from Mars on that flight, correct?

The Coming of the Cows: a Tirolean Tradition

It depends on the breed and the season. Scottish highland cattle are bred for cold conditions, so they stay outdoors; But many other cows go into barns in that season

House Histories by Sally Light: Guide to Tracing Your Home Genealogy

Icelandic artist Johannes Sveinsson Kjarval had a son, Sveinn Kjarval, who honed a pioneer role as interior designer.

The above information impels me to imagine as important as house histories their furnishing/furniture histories.

Mightn't such furnishings, such furniture as mattered to the Bronte siblings and to the Hemingway family matter to us in mastering their fictional- and real-life manifestations?

Grapefruit Ethnobotany: Generous Versatility of Citus x paradisi as Food Sources and So Much More

The grapefruit-scent disperser above featured among product lines figures as a fresh aroma for back porches, balconies, garage and window sills.

Who ever thought of such a tempting transmission of fresh air as grapefruit with coriander and valley-lily blossoms?

Masked Ringtail Possums (Pseudochirulus larvatus) in Papua Indonesia and Papua New Guinea

The text under the fourth image, about the Owen Stanley Range, advises us of such habitat associates as:

Eastern parotias (Parotia helenae) and streaked bowerbirds (Amblyornis subalaris);
Long-footed water rats (Leptomys elegans);
Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing butterflies (Ornithoptera alexandrae);
Huon astrapias (Astrapia rothschildi) and spangled honeyeaters (Melipotes ater);
Huon tree-frogs (Litoria dux);
Matschie’s tree-kangaroos (Dendrolagus matschiei);
Purple-spotted swallowtail butterflies (Graphium weiskei);
Telefomin cuscuses (Phalanger matanim);
Telefomin round-leaf bats (Hipposideros corynohyllus);
Goodfellow’s tree-kangaroos (Dendrolagus matschiei);
Macgregor’s giant ochre-winged honeyeaters (Macgregoria pulchra);
Papuan whipbirds (Androphobus viridis).

The afore-described co-denizens disperse natural and photogenic beauty.

Mightn't it be marvelous to mount an artistic, lego, photographic, plush-toy display of masked ringtail possums amid animal and plant peers?

Wouldn't it be wonderful to work into that display human-drinkable drinks and human-eatable eats of masked ringtail possums?

Jodrell Bank, Cheshire

Tickets are first come first served. People all over Britain apply for these but we have never been successful for TV stargazing shows yet. We live in hope.

Jodrell Bank, Cheshire

Your comment from 04/09/2016 advised us that "Our national TV company BBC, does "Stargazing" programmes from there. I always apply for tickets but have never been successful; I'd be delighted if I was part of the ticket allocation. It would make my day."

Might you and your husband and your family have managed to matter as "part of the ticket allocation"?

The Coming of the Cows: a Tirolean Tradition

Thank you for your comments below in answer to previous observations and questions.

A question nonrelated because not about the Tirolean tradition, but related because about cows, deals with the 24-7 life of UK cattle.

Do UK cows dwell outside day in, day out, night in, night out or do such structures as comfortable, nice-temperatured barns domicile them?

Jorge Manuel Theotokopoulos: Artistic Son of El Greco and Jeronima de las Cuevas in Toledo, Spain

Bob Dylan considers in It'sAlright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) how little sacredness -- that one culls without conducting concentrated contemplations too far or too long -- clusters.

May I rephrase that truth by mentioning how easily -- without managing any feature too small or too far away from that eyes-nose-mouth triangle of identification -- the hairline and the eyes manifest Jorge Manual as Jeronima's son?

Film Review of The Little Princess: Shirley Temple in Drama With Cesar Romero and Arthur Treacher

The film The little princess comes from the literary creation of Frances Hodgson Burnett (Sat., Nov. 24, 1849-Weds., Oct. 29, 1924).

The afore-referenced film released posthumously to the Burnett lifespan.

Would any immediate-family members or friends or their descendants have wended their way to movie theatres to watch the movie version?

American Chestnut by Susan Freinkel: The Life, Death, and Rebirth of a Perfect Tree

President Theodore Roosevelt advised conversing softly even as one carried -- just in case... -- a big stick.

The afore-designated president described the American chestnut as his favorite tree.

So might some American-chestnut wood have made that weaponizable accessory?

Book Review: The Cambridge Photographic Moon Atlas by Alan Chu, Wolfgang Paech and Mario Weigand

Twentieth- and 21st-century space stays cause me to compare space-ship and space-station suits.

My wizzley about the Petranek book on surviving Mars considers four-passenger, 250-day Earth-Mars-Earth flights.

What might the carry-on luggage -- ;-D -- and the seat-wear suit merit in per-person allowable weight for Earth-Moon-Earth and Earth-Mars-Earth flights?
