It say the saucer effects were groundbreacking Since their is no souce, isnt this a weasel word —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.131.77.73 ( talk) 06:35, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Loved the use of the mechanical differential analyser for translation purposes, particularly the fact that it output its results in script on a plotter! I'm not saying that it would be impossible but I think that they would have needed to use an immensely larger one than they did for such a task! -- Derek Ross | Talk 17:50, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
The crash involving 2 Curtiss SB2C Helldivers is an actual collision resulting in 4 fatalities. See [1]. AMCKen ( talk) 00:53, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
Marvin the Martian was first identified by name in the 1953 Warner Brothers cartoon Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century.
In 1956, we have space scientist Dr Russell A. Marvin in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers.
Could there be a possible direct influence here, or could there be a deeper cultural influence that brings both these characters to be 'Marvins'? What is it about the name 'Marvin' with 1950s spacey / sciency types?
By the 1980s, we get Marvin, The Paranoid Android, in Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy - a further riff?
