Comments on: Sad http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/24/sad/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Reminds me of the end of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045808/" rel="nofollow">Genevieve (1953)</a>. (Comedy about the the London to Brighton veteran car run.) Can't think of any astronomical links except ice cream is subject to gravity - just like apples ;) A story… Reminds me of the end of Genevieve (1953).

They arrive on a hot summer day only to find their flying saucer melting because their technology is based on vanilla ice-cream. That's what it is! DEATH FROM THE SKIES! My apologies to those who have not yet read <i> Rejsen til Saturn </i> or seen the movie for this spoiler.
