Welcome to Rotating Quiz #217.
My thanks to Chris Johnson for running RQ 216 and for writing a
contest that allowed me to win. The winner of RQ 217, in turn, will
be the first choice to set RQ 218, in whatever manner they prefer.
Please answer these questions based only on your own knowledge;
put all of your answers in a single posting, quoting the question
before each one. Answer slates must be posted by noon on Wednesday,
April 20 (by Toronto time, zone -4), which gives you 5 days and
somewhat over 18 hours from the time of posting.
On this contest questions #1-17 are worth 4 points each. Some are
all-or-nothing (unless I decide to give pity points for answers
that are almost correct), but others are designed with scope for
part marks as set out below.
In case of a tie, The first tiebreaker is how well you answer
question #18, the second tiebreaker is who answered the hardest
questions, and the third tiebreaker is who posted first.
For questions #1-6, see:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/rq217/handout.jpg
1. Give the manufacturer for 1 point and the model name for 3.
2. Name the character for 3 points, and the 2010 fantasy movie
that introduced her for 1.
3. Give its common name in English.
4. Who is this? 1 point each, up to a maximum of 3, for the first
and last names of the character and the actress; 1 point for
the title of the 1951 movie.
5. What is it?
6. What title has been blanked out?
7. Two words with the same etymology and very similar spellings.
One refers to an object many of which can be found in our solar
system, the other to a type of hypocycloid curve. Give either
word for 3 points, or both (in the order indicated) for 4.
Exact spelling required.
8. The later seasons of the TV series "Star Trek: Voyager" featured
a regular character who had been liberated from the Borg.
For 2 points, name the lab where this character often worked
-- one that was created especially to suit her expertise.
For 2 points more, give her name. (The short one-word name
her friends would use in conversation will do for 1 point;
for the full 2 points give either a longer form of this name
or else her original first and last name before she was a Borg.)
9. What invertebrate sea creature commonly has 5 arms? Give its
common name in English.
10. Complete this line from a 1952 musical-comedy movie:
"'People'? I ain't 'people'! I am a shimmering, glowing..."
(There are 10 more words, and you need to get most of them right
for the full 4 points, but the next word alone is worth 1 point.)
11. In 1999 in the US, President Clinton was impeached on (and
acquitted of) charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.
The independent counsel and special prosecutor whose
investigations led to the charges is now a president himself
-- president and chancellor of Baylor University. Who is he?
1 point for the first name, 3 for the surname.
12. The fictional newspaper the "Daily Planet", where Superman
worked in his secret identity as Clark Kent, was named after
what real-life newspaper? Give either its present name or its
name at the time. 1 point for the city, 3 points for the rest
of the name.
13. This movie was nominated for 5 Oscars, winning one for visual
effects, and counted among its executive producers an emeritus
Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, whose
ideas were featured in the story. Name the movie for 3 points
and the professor for 1.
By now you should have noticed that this quiz has a theme.
For each of questions #13-16, give a single word that fits the
theme and names the thing described. In one case there are two
possible answers; for that question give either one for 3 points
or both for 4.
14. This is when people who want to promote something, such
as a commercial product or a political position, attempt to
simulate the appearance that it has widespread popular support.
For example, they might post messages on computerized media
using many different false identities.
15. The Jetsons' dog.
16. Catastrophe.
17. *
18. (Tiebreaker.) Explain in complete detail the etymology behind
answer #14.

Where it says "For each of questions #13-16, give a single word..."
that is, obviously, supposed to be #14-17. As you may guess, at
some point I added a question and missed one of the places I had
to edit. Sorry about that, folks.

Space travelers working for NASA are called "astronauts", from Greek
roots meaning "star" and "sailor". In 1964 NASA's Manned Space Center
(now the Johnson Space Center) opened on its new permanent site
near Houston (now in Houston). The next year, the recently formed
Houston Colt .45s baseball team moved into their new permanent home,
the Harris County Domed Stadium, and in commemoration of NASA, the
team was renamed the Houston Astros and the stadium was unofficially
(later officially) renamed the "Astrodome". When it turned out
that that grass did not grow well under the dome, newly developed
artificial turf was substituted. This was given the brand name
"Astroturf" after the team and the stadium. Genuine popular support
for something is known as "grass-roots support". And if Astroturf
is fake grass, then faking grass-roots support must be "astroturfing".
As the only one to get #14, Dan Blum had the only chance to answer
this. He gave a part of the complete answer. But he had already won
without the tiebreaker. Scores, if there are no errors:

Constellation and this particular one was the Starliner. In fact
Wikipedia uses the same picture for their Starliner article:
