They need to get Ben Browder to be the spokesman for it.

Not that I know of, but Farscape was made there and staged there.

If you want to be weirded out watch the episode of Dresden Files she's in. She nails it, don't misunderstand, but if you know that's not at all her accent...

I knew Cape Canaveral looked a bit too much like Sydney.

Isn't Australia poorly situated for space launches?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see why. Being close to the equator is generally good. The northern territories launch site is quite close. They also mention a southern launch site which would be farther, but even that one is almost as close to the equator as Florida.

Really? I thought Australia was further south. I guess I ought to have checked on a map. Thanks for the correction.
