make them fit for human habitation was available, and only one or two units were available, would it be so expensive that not even the richest person on Earth could afford it?

Say that along with this technology, we would've already developed an easy way to travel to this habitable planets.

So scientists say that there are billions of stars. But how far away from earth have they detected this? How far can we see into the sky? Does it seem like a neverending sky of stars?

Will we have the technology to do something or to run somewhere. Its five more million years from now that the sun will exhaust its hydrogen fuel and will become a white dwarf. At the rate of technology surge that we have today, its impossible to know how far we might be in the future. How far can technology go?!?!

I was watching History channel and they stated that in 2039 a huge astroid will wipe us out. It will be a little smaller than U.S. Could it wipe all Earth out? Think about it. I'll be 34 yrs. old. Think about how old you would be. Search it, research it, and imagen how strong 7 atomic bombs would be put togather, and going off togather at the same time! Could it. Please tell me why in your answer.

Why is it when NASA shows current pictures of the moon with super lens like the Hubbel Telescope, don't they ever show a picture of 'that' flag? Do you think that they really landed on the moon? And why with telescopes like the Hubbel don't they ever show other spacecraft out there (i.e. UFO's)?

I'm trying to figure out how far away our solar system's Asteroid Belt is from Earth (From Earth to its leading edge) - and how wide it is. All of the sources that I've checked only use AU's instead of miles.

Why do we need humans to collect and send data from outer space when we can just send light signals and interpret the data?

Why doesn't NASA send LASER or robots or machines instead of humans on space missions?

I just tell my students that because the sun is fluid, it spins at different speeds. I'm always hoping they don't ask for the physical explaniation.

I heard once that the stars we see (or at least some of them) are not active anymore but we still see them due to the rate at which light travels. If this is true (though I cant seem to finy anything online about it), how long on average does it take us on Earth to see a new star that has been "born"?

I own a meade DS-114 telescope. It does have capability to be hooked up to a computer and slew it that way. I think there are GPS programs out there for it as well, right? Some software came with the telescope when i bought it, but i was just curious if anyone knew of a decent Sky GPS out there for a laptop to slew a telescope.
thanks
