Krubera Cave, located in the Arabika Massif  of the Gagra Range  of the Western Caucasus, in the Gagra district  of Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia. Here is an interesting article about it. Fascinating!  http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/earth/surface-of-the-earth/deepest-cave/

In French cuisine, what is the collective name for the following sauces: béchamel, espagnole, hollandaise, tomato, and velouté? (Extra credit if you know how to make some of them.

Well. . .I was thinking Trivia (for Hecate) but apparently that's a bit of a disputed point so I'll give you that one :lol3:. I got the question from a trivia page but didn't look it up first :/.

The footage was beamed from the landing site in the Sea of Tranquility.  It went from the lunar module to the command service module and from there to Earth.  A tracking station in Australia was in the right position to pick up the footage which was then relayed to Houston.

What was the first man made object to reach the moon?
