Astronomy & Space - December 2006

Will they just keep adding on or do they have master plan to finish it to a certain size? Also how do you keep adding on to something like that which orbits the earth and not have it drift into the atmosphere? Because the more matter they keep adding on the more it will increase Earth's Gravitational pull on it.

With NASA announcing plans for a permanent space station to be constructed on the southern pole of the moon, it looks as if that's a viable possibility in the coming years. Just wondering, if there was an established colony on the moon, would you live there?

I would, totally! I think it would be cool as hell!

This is not a homework question - this is just out of curiousity.

Why do the eight planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same plane? (The newly demoted Pluto is also "close", orbiting slightly off of this plane.)

Is there a meaningful relationship between the sun's equator and the plane of the orbiting planets?

Why are the spins of these planets also the same (they all spin in the same direction as earth and not the opposite)?

Do other solar systems in the universe exhibit the same phenomenon described above?

I saw a documentary on SpaceShipOne, the first privately owned human carrying spacecraft. In case of emergency, the cockpit on the ship would unhatch and the astronaut would jump out. I wondered what good this would do on launch, in space, and on reentry unless you could jump out of something in space and get back to earth safely. At 100 Km, gravity will eventually take back over and bring whatever back to earth, so I do not believe someone getting out of a spacecraft would fly off into space. It seems to me that once gravity takes a hold of the human, they would plummet back to earth until reaching free fall, to which they could pull their parachute and get back to earth safely. My knowledge is very limited on this subject and the answer may be obvious and dumb but I would like to know the reason why I would be wrong in assuming this.

When astronauts used to come back to earth, before the plane-like lander they have now, why did the Americans land in the oceans, and the Russians land on solid ground?

Want to be able to locate planets and other star systems with easy and simplicity and looking out for free chart mapping programs that run on windows that will do the job.

I have come across a few but would like expert recommendations on something that has a neat interface and GUI to quickly chart the planets and other stuff.

Thanks
