...site for the moon settlement is uncertain, but the best candidate is near Shackleton Crater at the south lunar pole. Parts of the region are bathed in sunlight more than 70% of the time, just the thing for the outpost's solar panels. What's more, ridges and hills cast patches of ground in equally deep shadow, meaning a possible supply of ice that could be used for drinking water and hydrogen and oxygen fuel...

Currently, the lip of south pole's Shackleton Crater is NASA's favorite site...

Far worse properties have been rehashed, and at least director Charles Sturridge (Brideshead Revisited, Shackleton) will be classing up the old dog a bit, not only by casting O'Toole, Samantha Morton and Peter Dinklage in major roles but also by taking the story back to its pre--Timmy's-trapped-in-a-well roots.

Having returned from a fall semester of sexual liberation in Rio De Janeiro, Ruth C. Havel ’05 recently dared her one time fling Max D. Shackleton ’05 to venture into her new bag of sexual tricks. Never one to shy from a challenge, Shackleton delved into the bag of tricks only to find that it contained an eight-inch strap-on vibrator.
