You are given a choice between a very large, powerful telescope 100 m in diameter, and a small one 1 m in diameter. Which one would you choose for near earth asteroid detection, and why? THANKS!

The sun burns 600 million tons of hydrogen into helium every second, and lasts 10 billion years. Can someone help me compute what percentage of its total mass is lost? Why does the rest of the hydrogen in the sun also burn, letting the sun have a much longer life?

Can someone help me estimate the diameter of a telescope that will permit a US flag on the moon planted by one of the Apollo missions to be resolved from the earth? So could you possibly see the flag from earth?

J.P,L's Mars Global probe solar panel motor malfuntion..Default sleep mode. A rotaion in a orbit at a time when panel can catch some solar rays would be the only chance for the probe. This is where a Hydro-Magnetic Energy would be best for these types of Satellites and probes on board systems and propulsion systems would work better.

Why? Because lunar bases will have limited amounts of power stored in fuel cells during the 2 week lunar night and crop illumination demands lots of power. If the crops could be cooled down and hibernate during 2 weeks of night under low light or no light at all it will make lunar bases more likely to suceed. Eventually, there will be solar power plants on both sides of the Moon and a power grid for constant power to bases. Getting a nuke pwr. plant to the Moon will face intense opposition but would be the best thing for a lunar base. During lunar day plentiful solar energy could power all sorts of industry and supply filtered light for crops, but at night we'd power down industry and rely on stored power. Just a small nuke for crop light would be welcome. If we can't have it and crops can hibernate for 2 weeks/mo. farms could still suceed. O2 would be stored up by day and CO2 could be frozen out by night cause the hibernating plants won't be able to recycle CO2 to oxygen.

Since the space station's main purpose to be a stepping stone toward colonization of the moon and mars, why don't they try to grow their own food and be more self sufficient? Also, if they created such a room it would make the sterile life on the station more tolerable. The plants would remove co2 and add o2.
