Jan 10, 1967: "The nightmare continues!" TV series THE INVADERS premiered on ABC.




The character "David Vincent" was ranked #6 in TV Guide's list of the "25 Greatest Sci-Fi Legends" (August 1, 2004 issue).

The show was remade in 1995 as a mini-series. As this was a remake, the David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) character in it is not the same from the old show, despite being played by the same actor. He's "David Vincent II" in the remake.

In interview Roy Thinnes said he was told The Invaders was a study in paranoia, one man knowing something and being unable to convince anyone else what was happening.





Artemis blues...

2024, Year of the Tunnel...

An initiative that sounds a lot like Jules Verne‘s Journey to the Center of the Earth might mark the first time humans have tapped into magma, the molten rock liquid flowing beneath Earth’s crust. In 2026, Iceland’s Krafla Magma Testbed (KMT) project will drill into a volcano’s magma chamber, seeking to tap into its super-hot fumes to generate geothermal energy at a scale that has never been attempted before.

The endeavor promises to power homes across Iceland with a renewable, limitless energy source. And no, this won’t cause the currently active Krafla volcano to erupt, according to John Eichelberger, a volcanologist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks interviewed by New Scientist.

Iceland will tunnel into a volcano

Famous last words.

The Year of the Tunnel can't be stopped! West Virginia good old boy came up with a harebrained, Appalachian methrock scheme and dug a Shawshank Redemption-esque tunnel into a used auto dealership to try & steal a car? Everybody’s tunneling in 2024.
