The article said that Earth was located in Galactic Sector ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha. This is not true, since the Heart of Gold picked up Arthur and Ford after they had jumped six light-years through hyperspace to Barnard's Star.

But do you know how big one of these Sectors is? :) 141.35.9.132 15:43, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure there are two or three other mentions of the Sector that place Earth somewhere in it ... at least a couple in Mostly Harmless, for sure. Confusing Manifestation 13:30, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I've always found this to be a bit of a contradiction. Assuming that the hyperspace jump was from one sector to another, there is a problem that the Earth is supposed to be in ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha, and they were also picked up in that sector. (I'm sure Earth is in this sector). Also Trillian says "that's the same sector where you picked me up", which is Earth. So I think that was always a bit of a problem - the film rectified this by having them picked up just near the remains of Earth, before the jump to hyperspace. —EatMyShortz 05:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
The radio version, in the Quintessential Phase, stated that Arthur was from ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha on his ticket when he was talking to the woman who was looking for a job for him after he leaves NowWhat. It also says that NowWhat was in Sector ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha (and I believe the book said that too). --Rory096 19:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Didn't the Starship Titanic have "Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure?" It says in this article that it has "Total Existence Failure." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rory096 (talk • contribs)

In the game, yes, it's "Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure". In the book, it's "Total Existence Failure." I suppose this should be mentioned in either or both of these articles. Feezo (Talk) 23:07, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Within the Arcturus sub-heading it says that 'Zaphrod Beetlebrox managed it as a child' while reffering to the supposed impregnability of Arcturan megafreighters.What exactly did he manage? I would change it, but I don't know what is meant to be there.--Song 01:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Note to anyone intending on splitting off a section

This page has been processed by N-Bot, which, for browsing convenience, changes links to redirects to lists to links to the relevant list sections: e.g. [[Rupert \(planet\)]] is changed to [[Places in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy#Rupert|Rupert \(planet\)]].

As a result, anyone who intends to split a section out of this page should be aware that, as of 22 July 2006, the following sections were linked to from the following pages:

[edit] Links

To prevent the above 'splitting off' problem I have created the required redirects:
