I thought Fermat *DIDN'T* leave a proof, but merely claimed he had one that he couldn't fit on the napkin, or margin, or wherever the thing was written.
People fight for the parking spot closest to the door of the gym so that don't have to walk too far to get to the treadmill. People aren't lazy, they're insane.
I'm sure the majority of people might take that to mean "Here's a picture of what other moons look like so you can see the difference", it seems you must have not made that connection.
I must not be in the majority then. I took it to mean: "Here's a picture of something you won't find anywhere else in the solar system".
Explanation 1: The X in Planet X stands for unknown, not for 10. Some reporter got confused and thought it was a Roman numeral.
Explanation 2: Because of their eccentricities, the orbits of the outer planets interweave with each other. Sometimes Pluto is the eighth planet out and Nepute ninth. Perhaps the outer planets do the same thing.
Explanation 3: Sedna is not considered a planet.
Explanation 4: Astronomers can't count.
I wouldn't want to ride any coaster that would allow me to keep a full mug of beer. If I'm riding a coaster with a mug of beer, I want it to be all over me by the time the ride is over... or rather, half in me and half all over me:-)

NeverNeverLand didn't disappear. All you have to do is add their domain server's ip address to your/etc/resolv.conf file, and you'll be able to do all the surfing and emailing you could do before.
I'm not sure about the water bottle/filter. Basically it is a good idea, however most of them do not remove salt from water. If you're heading down to the New Orleans area, you'll have sea water from the gulf mixed in with everything. Unless you get something that handles saltwater as well as bacteria and viruses, stick with bottled water.
Google moon doesn't have any of the Ranger sites, nor any of the Russian sites. I'm not sure, but I don't think the far side of the moon is even shown.

c) REQUIRE you to have at least one number, or one upper + one lower case, or one symbol (not every string in the table above has a number, or a symbol, etc)
That's fairly easy. Have each of the consonants have an uppercase and a number, and every vowel a lowercase and a symbol. Then every keyword will generate a password consisting of upper and lower case letters, plus numbers and symbols.
Construction would be a vast project: a beanstalk would have to be built of a material that could endure tremendous stress while also being light-weight, cost-effective, and manufacturable. Today's materials technology does not quite meet these requirements.
The technology to spin regular VdW-bonded yarn from carbon nanotubes is just in its infancy: the first success to spin a long yarn as opposed to pieces of only a few centimeters has been reported only very recently; but the strength/weight ratio was worse than Kevlar...
Like I said. I've read much to dispute your claims, but nothing to support them.
I was watching a show on this the other day. Apparently the dolphins are trained as if it is a game. When they kill for real they are traumatized by it and become useless to the navy at that point. Unfortunately they have no better means of dealing with underwater demolitions teams than tricking fun-loving creatures into becoming murderers.
So instead of tethering the cable to a balloon and having it climb a measily thousand feet, why not loop the cable around a couple of pulleys to form a cable treadmill, and let the climber "climb" all the way? Give the climber a real workout. This test smacks more of publicity stunt than of useful research to me.
Unfortunately, we don't have the material down yet. If we did, somebody would be spewing out kilometers of the stuff and shopping around for a suitable asteroid to move into synchronous orbit.
Remember that the center of mass of the cable/counterweight system is in orbit at the geosynchronous orbit altitude, any time the car is below that altitude it does not have enough velocity to go up on its own. However, once the car passes that point, it has more velocity than it needs, and will want to "fall" up the cable. Of course, it will not have far to go to reach the counterweight.
I don't recall the five miles across figure. I remember a three days to walk across figure. Of course, it has been a long while since I've seen an episode. True Ellison did get screwed over. Still, despite how bad it was, it's much better SF than Tales From the Crypt.

Is it just me, or is everyone getting those pilcrow paragraph mark characters?

Rising gas would be burps, would it not? Falling gas would be farts.

It would have worked if the management had worked their way up from the bottom, instead of being layered on top.

the material *is* down. The method for making it *is* ready.
Got any links? Your assertions are at odds with everything I've read about the space elevator.

What keeps it up is the relative mass of things. The mass of the climber plus its cargo is insignificant relative to the mass of the counterweight.

The part above the break would head out to space. The part below the break would fall to Earth.

Let me throw The Starlost onto your list. Earthship Ark has got to be the largest vessel built by humans on any TV show.
