Science Fiction
Question 1:
A 1976 letter-writing campaign led to the first Space Shuttle vehicle being named this, after Star Trek's fictional spaceship.
Rolled out in 1976, the Enterprise was used to perform atmospheric tests. It was originally designed to be retrofitted for orbital flight, but it was later determined that this was not cost effective. Since 2012, the shuttle has been on display at the Intrepid Museum in New York City.
Question 2:
In 1938, Orson Welles adapted this science fiction novel by H. G. Wells into a radio play. The broadcast incited a panic as some believed the dramatization was a real-life news report.
The show was presented as a series of news bulletins. There was widespread outrage over the deceptive format, leading to calls for regulation by the FCC. Welles had to apologize at a hastily-called news conference the following morning.
Question 3:
Name the comedic science fiction franchise created by Douglas Adams. It began as a BBC radio show that was broadcast from 1978—1980.
Aside from the radio show, the work has also been adapted into a series of best-selling novels, a stage play, comic books, television, a computer game and a feature film.
Question 4:
What awards for the best science fiction and fantasy works are presented annually at the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon)?
The award is named after Hugo Gernsback, who founded the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories. The Hugos were first given in 1953, at the 11th World Science Fiction Convention, and have been awarded every year since 1955.
Question 5:
Directed by Fritz Lang, this 1927 German expressionist science fiction silent movie is about underground-dwelling workers toiling in a futuristic urban dystopia.
Although it had mixed reviews upon release, Metropolis is now widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made, ranking 67th in Sight and Sound's 2022 critics' poll, and receiving general critical acclaim.
