In this double episode, Nolan, Joe and Jeremiah discuss one of the most infamous engineering feats you’ve never heard of: The Snow Cruiser. With tires that were ten feet high, and a cabin big enough to house four researchers, this behemoth was meant to conquer the southern ice fields of the Antarctic. But as we'll see "The Penguin" may have been the biggest engineering disaster in all of automotive history.

I'm not trying to be mean but Antarctica is in the southern hemisphere so when they were talking about how since they went in October it would be colder and larger but it's actually summer and spring during those months

I love how they are like oh shit that’s going into winter! But in the Southern Hemisphere that would be Spring going into Summer. Then again depending on how long the ship rides take it may take them into fall, possibly winter if conditions were really bad,assuming they left from Europe. But if they set off from South America it would be a pretty ideal time to explore season wise.

SOME people don't like ice in their drink in Europe, because 1. the drink is already cold out of a fridge, and 2. more ice == less drink. You're basically paying for half a glass of ice, and then half a glass of whatever drink you ordered. waste of money that.
@jacksawyer7300

Came to say the same thing. It's not that Europeans don't like ice in their drinks. It's that we like a drink with some ice in it, not a glass of ice with a splash of a drink.

17:48 - Yes, Japan sent in explorer Nobu Shirase during 1911-1912. He gave up on the race to the South Pole - by then Amundsen and Scott (as you mentioned) was far too ahead - and instead did metrological and scientific investigations around the Great Ice Barrier in the Ross Sea. There was an area, which turned out to be part of the Antarctic Ocean that was frozen during Shirase's expedition, that was formerly named Yamato Setsugen (or Yamato Snow Plains). A couple of places in Antractica are now named after him and his expedition ie Shirase Glacier and Shirase Coast.

The theory that the snow cruiser fell into the ocean is supported by reports of sights of big drifting ice portions with what looked like some open rooms on the vertical outer walls. So the snow cruiser most likely got ripped apart and sank into the ocean when the driftet out ice portions melted

An engineering team designs an automated bar with a robotic bartender. To test it they order 1 beer, 10 beers, and then 999 beers, they cycle through all the songs in the jukebox and have a test group use the dancefloor. Having passed those tests the bar opens. The first customer walks in and asks for the bathroom, and the bar tender promptly explodes setting fire to the bar.
