Disregard all of the unfortunate conditions. In a perfect vacuum without any disruptions to the beam, does light have a maximum distance it can travel? Maybe 15 billion light years or so it starts to run out of go go juice.

I wonder if we used an atom smasher on the moon of mars to slam into it if we could crack the surface and force the massive release of sulfer and co2 because of geothermal activity. Perhaps it would warm the atmosphere and force the atmosphere to gain density and force the water vapor back down to the ground. Because of the lack of pressure the water is boiling without heat. Does anybody have a commend about this?

Why, when Neil Armstrong took mans first step on the moon didn't someone tell him that those clumpy shoes were awful? I mean ,if you're going somewhere nice, why not treat yerself to a pukka pair of footwear?
I bet NASA cringe when they see the tape of him in them shoes....nice pair of dessies would have been much more top gear.
Hopefully,when man lands on Mars,the astronaut will be 'with it'.

imagine a flexible strip to rise things into space. Why can´t we do so? Where is the thin spot? Why the force of gravity doesn´t let us to hang things from orbit and such avoid the burning derived from accelerating through the atmosphere, and once in just drop the things with a parachute?

The total energy stored in a radio lobe is about 10^53 J. How many solar masses would have to be converted to energy to produce this energy? Hints: Use E= mc^2. One solar mass equals 2 x 10^30 kg.
I do not even know where to begin. For some reason, I just don't get these kinds of problems. If anyone knows the answer or can suggest how to go about answering it, I would greatly appreciate it.

How can the space buggy drive (remain flat on the moon surface) if there is no gravity? What prevents it from just floating away? How can a person walk on the moon and not just float away?

Thanks!! :)

They say that Jupiter does not have a rocky core and the planet is made up of entirely gas materials... If one was to send a missile/or a blowtorch and lit jupiter, will the entire planet ignite like a star?

I recieved this e.mail today is this really going to happen.
The Red Planet is about to be spectacular!

This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on
Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

The encounter will culminate on August 27th when
Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and
will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in
the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9
and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest
75-power magnification

Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.
Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m.

Hi. I have an original picture of the Challenger Space Shuttle just as it was taking off in 1984. I got it about 5 years ago when I went to Florida and my father's friend, who is a well known news editor, presented it to me. He asked me not to sell it, unless it came to my education, and I need rather an expensive amount to begin, in two weeks. Can anyone give me an estimate or a quote what you think it'd be worth? He said it was real valuable. Thanks.

Could it be somehow proven, at least theoretically, that space is infinite?
