Who is the guy that invented the formula for the appolo to take off and land? Before there would be a space capsule that would orbit back into the earth's atmosphere and fall into the ocean. Where eventually the NAVY would come to pick them up.

Gravity has always been portrayed to me as a spherical range and the planets are orbiting in the orbits because they are caught in the gravity field pulling it torwards the sun while the planet is trying to move in a straightline, basically torque. The planets however orbit at only maybe a few degrees from eachother around the sun. If the gravity field is 360 degrees then how come there are no objects in orbits above or below what we know as the solar system? Basically I am asking how come the Solar System is like a thick donut around the sun instead of objects being arranged randomly like the electrons of a nucleus?

I've read that life on Earth probably originated in Outer Space. This makes sense because the DNA of all the species on earth are extremely similar, which means (do tell me if I'm wrong!) that it all evolved from one source.

So does this mean aliens have the same DNA as we do, meaning they have the same "ancestors" as us ? Or is it possible to have life without DNA ? With a completely different molecule that performes the same functions ? And in that case, why don't we have that sort of life-forms here on Earth ?

Are there any biologists who succeeded at developing new primitive life-forms ? If so, do they have DNA or not ? If they do, they wouldn't be really "new", I guess, since it'd have to be the DNA of a pre-existing species, wouldn't it ?

Near FM 92 MHz on your radio you can hear static coming from your computer as you use it – that is information leaving it. This information is able to be read at least 50 yards away (1/2 the length of a football field). Our computers have been designed so others can read this information. Then, these same people are able to access a person's DOS files and change the configuration of a person’s computer, deleting information and changing other info. There is no such thing as computer security from this form of intrusion – a person will never know it happens. What I am interested in, is knowing the frequency used in accessing our computers. Does anyone know?

I read a story on MSNBC.com that says a group of scientists want to increase the number of planets in our solar system to 12, making the asteroid Ceres, Pluto's moon Charon, and that thing discovered in 2003 a planet. Also, this ridiculous plan says that we could have 100 planets in the near future, because the new definition for a planet is any objet over a certain size that's not a star. It also talks about double and triple palnets, and that's where it lost me. Do you find this absurd?
