The Shuttle and ISS are about 220 miles above Earth traveling at about 17500 miles per hour. Why don't they stay stationary or travel at a different speed?

We have names for all the planets and their moons yet we call ours "The Moon"

There is much less gravity on the moon (about one seventh that of the Earths), so certain activities would be very cool. For instance, what would swimming in 1/7 gravity be like? Gymnastics would be fun. And what about trampolines?! dancing, basketball, obstacle courses... what else?

Don’t you love the diversity in life, here in the internet, among us? The differences between groups of people down to each individual? I just learned to appreciate that when I answered this question “What is the saddest (as in geekiest) question you have ever read and answered?”

And this was my answer:

“Geekiest would be ‘how many kg of potassium should be added to blah blah water to freeze?’... I was like ‘just put it inside your freezer…’:p But the saddest would be ‘will I ever see my beloved again?’ I felt his longing for his loved one, coz I've been there, and so it almost made me cry.

I just realized how Y!Answers makes me feel alive by evoking different emotions in me through the questions of its memebers. And just a while ago, I encountered a question ‘I like being creative blah blah blah, how about you how do you express yourself..?’. It reminded me of my artistic side, taking a break from answering geeky questions. And there's even a poem I read which was really beautiful and which I could relate to. It makes me a complete person to deal with the different aspects of life. I love being in Y!Answers :)”

Don’t you?

Black holes are stars that have collapsed and become extremely dense, then collapse on themselves. They pull everything into them. A white hole is just the opposite--it expells everything and, thus, be impossible to enter. A worm hole is suppose to connect folded space and is very unstable. If stable, time travel might be a reality!! What do you think?

For example, cosmological theory has it that if you were a sentient being that lived on some other world in another galaxy far, far away, and owned a super telescope, depending on the relative velocities between your galaxy and our earth, you could still see when the dinosaurs walked th earth, or Marie Antoinette getting chopped, or Joe Sixpack picking his nose in the year 2020. So, on the whole, all events that ever were are there, it just depends on where and when you're viewing them from.

As NASA rebounds from the Columbia disaster with the launch of a refurbished Discovery, an old dispute gains new life. The shuttle is slated for retirement in 2010. But is it worth the risk to keep it flying until then?

Why is it so hard to believe that we've gone to the moon? And what will skeptics do when we return and prove that we did go?
