Astronomy & Space - August 2006

I was a little confused by the ending ( anyone who hasnt finished this stop reading now! haha) apparently hal was talking with heywood floyd, but heywood floyd is still alive. And there is a third person, but I cant decide whether it was david bowman pretending to be heywood and hal and another person, or if it was david bowman and hal and heywood floyd, I am just confused, any help?

You know a man and a woman or more people operating a space station get lonely and desperate from being up there so long and Decide to have sex with a crew-mate? Has this ever happened before? Would they get fired if they were caught?

if man can go to the moon, certainly they can go far away worlds if we get our heads of the sand of this already dying earth.

If the entire universe was contained in a tiny speck that expanded outward, how could there have been room for the speck to expand? I mean if there was once nothing but that speck, where did the space for the universe come from? If the speck was suspended in a vast area of empty space, then where did the empty space come from?

This seems strange in a solar system of rotating objects.

Suppose you were on a spaceship that landed on Mars, but during the landing the main guidance computer system broke down on the space ship. What does this mean for you and your crew? Well there is limited food available, limited oxygen - just enough to last for 2 weeks. But there is NO POSSIBILITY of a rescue mission being sent to get you.
Now, although the guidance system is out, all of the resources to repair it are around you. You even have another computer with internet connection that works. It is just a matter of using your creativity to rig up a solution that will fix the guidance system and enable you and your crew to take off and head for home.
The bottom line is that unless you fix the guidance system computer, you will die on Mars.
How would you fix the guidance system, given that there are no scientists in the crew?
Would you find an adventure like this exciting or would you be afraid to volunteer for such a mission?

The deeper we look, the older stars are, of course, light travels greater distance, but aren´t quasars the same age considering they were born with the big bang along with other galaxies??, I cannot understand this concept about earlier universe in its present state.

In documentary films, They show one of the astronauts teeing up a golf ball and driving it into space. If the ball would float in air wouldn't it hover above the tee?

keeps the sun and the inner core of earth burning since billions of years?!?! I don't realy believe in the theory that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas.. what is this gas that doesn't burn out since billions of years !? There must be something solid like a massive nuclear core in the center or probably it might be hell by itself fueling itself from our sins.. i hope we never find out. what would you say about it ?

I personally think it rediculous to assume that we, as humans, are the only living beings in the universe, but I want other's opinions.
