Why not "lumpy" shapes? Is it due to gravity (or lack there of) or orbital spinning?

Thanks everyone for your input

I once heard an idiot say that NASA is just a waste of money, that all they ever did for us was go to space. Just to see how smart everyone is, besides TANG, what else has NASA given us?

My daughter asked me this question earlier and I said Its Einsteins equation- it is used to show how mass is related to energy and speed. Its needed for space travel". lol. I feel that she was not very happy with this answer. Can anyone else help please and maybe give an analogy or recommend a good kids book to demonstrate the theory?

At the speed of light, it seems to me, that time would stand still. At least, time as I know it to be. One degree faster, would then cause time to go in reverse, relative to where I'm at. At least, 'my time' would. Wouldn't it? So speed of light being, then, a reference point of time standing still. I could go a zillion miles one way and a gazillion another way at the same 'time'.? A few decades ago, I recall reading something like that in a book titled 'Cosmology'. Which described many people different theories.

The most ignorant thing and dangerous thing in the world is to have an opinion without knowing the facts - so please note:

1.Why can’t we do it now? – quite simply, there is no Saturn V rocket and there is no lunar lander (LEM). It needed the phenomenal power of this giant 360 foot rocket to get a manned probe beyond Earth’s orbit, and it needed the ultra-lightweight but immensely high-tech LEM to land on the moon. Both machines were multi-billion dollar developments. Both are no more.
2.What happened to the Apollo? – read the history. Americans were wholly caught up in the Vietnam war, with massive and violent demonstrations going on. People saw the space program as a huge waste of money when there were so many social and international problems to attend to.
3.Apollos 18-20 were cancelled because of lack of taxpayer interest. There were plans to take along a small “flyer”, so astronauts could get around quicker.

Due to the weather system in the UK, the sighting of the new moon is absolutely hard. This is due to the clouds above us.
Can Pilots or those in the cockpit see the new moon easily ?
Do they (aviation world) have informatin on this matter.
Will be very highly appreciated.
Answers from Pilots will be very much appreciated.

I saw this on a tv program a few years ago and I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a website with a model of it. It looks like a bunch of spiral orbits around the earth.
