Pleased you think there are "good questions" this time.
As to the Space questions "getting harder", all I can say is that most of the "easy" Space questions have been used in previous WRQs 
and as Space was one of the most popular categories [as voted for by the regular quizzers earlier in the year] perhaps it`s fair that one of the questions on Space is a bit of a headscratcher
