      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                      Oh dear

                      For the benefit of those of you interested, the correct answer was Giovanni Schiaparelli. He explored and mapped Mars (via telescope) and described the 'canali' which were mistranslated (it says 'ere) as canals. Canals were built by navvies or navigators - hence the reference to navigator.

                      Mars is the slightly larger, funny coloured 'star' up there. Somewhere. You can see it with the naked eye, but it's really fuzzy man.

                      And when at last you see the light,
                      God's going to buy you a satellite ...

                      Ok BGG, I'll have a go at yours a bit later.
