IMG News: ECTS: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Info and Screenshots Travelling through the squalid surroundings of a Vogon Constructor Fleet spaceship, the swamplands of Squornshellous Zeta, the splendour of the fabled Heart-Of-Gold with it's Infinite-Improbability Drive and the legendary planet constructing depths of Magrathea, Arthur must battle with aliens, solve puzzles and of course, talk with annoying lifts! The main weapon which Arthur uses is his towel, a vital piece of equipment for all hitchhikers, without one you'll never be known by your counterparts as a hoopy frood.

Beetle (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Emerging from the void, the Thunderbolts encountered their former teammates Hawkeye and Songbird, who had formed their own version of the Thunderbolts, who were similarly engaged with the void from the real Earth's counterpart of the spaceship.

Sphere - movie review by Mark Leeper One major secret is the meaning of the huge sphere of gold-toned liquid metal at the heart of this spaceship. So in the logic of the film industry a good way to make a profitable film would be to make a big-budget adaptation of another Crichton science fiction novel. SPHERE is faithful to a fairly mediocre novel www.eclectica.org /v2n3/leeper_sphere.html   (610 words)

analysis The best known example of this is the Infinite Improbability Drive aboard the Heart of Gold spaceship, which can move across vast distances of space nearly instantaneously by creating an infinite improbability field in which something as improbable as suddenly being in a different place is generated. This is because the warp drive employed is vulnerable to gravity wells; that is, in the presence of a large body of mass, spacetime is curved strongly enough so that it is not safe to curve it again via a warp drive. To that end, the unique choice of space propulsion drives helps to advance the books' mockery of other works of science fiction, which are equally improbable yet revealed to their audiences as possibly probable. www-scf.usc.edu /~aaronwon/project/analysis.htm   (610 words)

Articles - Heart of Gold Heart of Gold is a fictional spaceship in The Hitchhiker& Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

Ex Libris Book Reviews Catching a lift with the cooking crew of the Vogon ship that destroyed Earth, Arthur and Ford are subjected to the torture of Vogon poetry before being ejected into space, only to be picked up by Zaphod Beeblebrox, the galaxy's BMOC, with his Heart of Gold improbability spaceship. From the Indian American couple recovering from still birth of their first child, to the epileptic girl who overcomes her patron's rejection to create a life for herself, these stories' characters are sensitively drawn, leaving them etched into our subconscious. By the time they were rescued, only a little more than 300 of the original 900 had survived. www.elise.com /books/el   (610 words)

UGO.com Film/TV - Marvin's Robot Commentary - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I am Marvin, the resident artificial intelligence aboard the Heart of Gold, a spaceship stolen by the President of the Galaxy, Zaphod Beeblebrox. Though not technically a robot (the whole living tissue over a metal endoskeleton thing), I find the Terminator to be the most interesting A.I. in this heaping pile of scrap metal - at least he has the potential for job satisfaction. But even this simple robot was light years ahead of you humans. www.ugo.com /channels/filmtv/features/hitchhikersguide/marvin.asp   (257 words)

SongBook TheatEar The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Story: Though Zaphod has managed to escape the Total Perspective Vortex - at the cost, perhaps, of a bit of what's left of his sanity - the Heart of Gold crew's problems are only beginning. Ford's attempt to flag down a passing spaceship to hitch a ride has instead resulted in the ship crashing and causing a volcanic eruption, leaving the two hitchhikers trapped in a cave with no escape. He left big trouble behind long ago and is now in galaxy-sized trouble - he has been taken to the Frogstar, the most evil world in all the galaxy, where he has a date with the Total Perspective Vortex...a usually fatal sentence. www.thelogbook.com /b5covers/hhg/year2.htm   (1237 words)

Earth in fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A puppet show in the episode "Heart of Gold" implies that Earth has in fact been obliterated, but this has yet to be actually confirmed on screen. After fleeing the planet, the remnants of humanity travelled in generation ships for decades (many humans lived their entire lives within a spaceship's walls) until finding a new star system. Earth's location could have been lost to the sands of time and with the planet presumed destroyed or rendered uninhabitable or even no one (human or otherwise) caring where it is. This scenario is expressed in the Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov, among others. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Earth_in_fiction   (1656 words)

McLean Stevenson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia His screen credits include the Disney movie The Cat from Outer Space as a friend of Dr. Frank Wilson, (played by actor Ken Berry) who found a cat whose spaceship had crashed and needed a bar of gold bullion to get back home.

My favourite characters are probably Shootie and Bang-Bang - two enlightened and liberal galactic cops who shoot people and then agonize about it later to their girlfriends (Possibly based on The Professionals or Starsky and Hutch). They bump into the ugly green Vogons (who write the worst poetry in the universe), the Golgafrinchians (advertising executives and telephone sanitizers who were banished from their planet for being totally useless) and plutonium rock and roller, Hotblack Desiado. www.nostalgiacentral.com /tv/comedy/hitchhikers.htm   (810 words)

Infinite Improbability Drive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Infinite Improbability Drive is the spaceship drive for the starship Heart of Gold in the science fiction story The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. The infinite improbability drive has been superseded by the Bistromathic drive, based on the alternate math used by waiters in restaurants, which has the advantage of not having improbable side effects or improbable things going wrong. The most important side effects of infinite improbability travel were that hyperspace express routes became largely obsolete, and that the History department of the university of Maximegalon finally gave up trying to figure out the universe, as completely impossible things were increasingly commonplace. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Infinite_Improbability_Drive   (638 words)
