The devil is in the details--and so is the TRIVIA!
If you enjoy the TV show Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, youīll probably want to test your knowledge on these.
The questions arenīt just from the aviation and space arenas, but most of them are. Still, give `em a crack and see how you do.
Sorry, no million dollars if you get them all right. But if you do well, consider yourself pretty smart. Or maybe you just have too much time on your hands. (Just kidding!)
