On this day in history...

Hello all,
So I had fun searching the web for interesting facts on things that happened on this day in history, and here's the two best ones I could find:
- Johnny Cash married his first wife in 1954 (if you haven't seen Walk the Line you should!)
- and George Pimentel announced evidence of methane and ammonia detected near Mars by Mariner 7 spacecraft, 1969. (see This Week in the History of Chemistry)
If you can think of any connection between the two you win 5 points. And if you can include Kevin Bacon in it you get 10.

Here it is: Walk the Line is the movie about Johnny Cash that stars Joaquin Phoenix, who was in Signs with Mel Gibson, who was in Ransom with Gary Sinise, who was in a movie about a NASA mission, but not quite to Mars, called Apollo 13, which also starred... Kevin Bacon!

10 points for Megan!
2 bonus points for including Mel Gibson this week!
