Bindi Irwin's Cradle Mountain holiday blunder by US magazine People. Tasmania has had many tourism slogans over the years from 'Come down for air' to 'Go behind the scenery', but perhaps it should consider 'not to be confused with Tanzania'. A major United States celebrity news publication has mistaken Australia's island state for the East African country after the world-famous Irwin family visited Cradle Mountain, with Bindi Irwin posting images from her family's trip on her Instagram, which has a following of 5.7 million people. She made the trip to the Tasmanian national park with her husband Chandler, daughter Grace, brother Robert and mother Terri. Attracting global attention, it was picked up by People which touts itself as the number one source for the "most trustworthy celebrity news". It published a story about the trip, noting "Bindi was joined by her husband, daughter, mother and brother for the trip to the East African country"....... ID: 2137573 · Reply Quote

As we know science fiction often leads to science fact. Warp Drive and a FTL Drive system like in 2004's Battlestar Galactica are possible, while Hyper Space is not possible as Hyper Space doesn't exist.
