I understand why our planet orbits the sun, but I'm not sure why it spins.

While watching the ISS streak across the Northwest sky, there was something chasing it about 5 seconds behind it and not as bright. Any idea what it was as I believe the Space Shuttle to be still docked to the ISS

I had the strangest dream!!!
I dreamt that this guy that's in a few of my classes asked me out ( I don't have a crush on him) I said no,, because he wasn't my type. In this dream he phoned his friend and said some pretty harsh things about me(think female dog) In this dream later, i remember deciding to go out with him, i don't know why. Does anyone know what this dream means????It's weirding me out!!!

I'm trying to settle an argument with a friend. He claims that NASA used Commodore and Atari computers on board the space shuttle in the 1980s (and further claims that the Challenger STS-51L flight had a gold Commodore 64 on board). Is any of this true? Wouldn't the extra power required by the components be too much for the batteries driving the shuttle's power?

Thanks,

Paul

that if the moon could see people on earth, it would see 4 YEARS AGO because that's how long it takes for light to travel to earth?
