Do other planets in our solar system have tetonic plates like Earth? I know that we cannot tell for exo-system planets, but for the ones at home.

I am not giving an opinion , I want some. I have heard different arguments about the space shuttle , most of them about what a waste of money that it is , that the government should take care of people here instead of spending millions on a space program. Then there are those that say it could someday improve the way we live or even save the human race. The only opinion I am giving is , i live a few miles from the cape and it sure is awesome to see it go off at night. I would like some opinions though to see if the ratio of pros and cons.

Sorry for asking a question and then answering it ... but this question was recently posted here, and I don't think anybody had the correct answer:

People all correctly pointed out that the Apollo missions went to the moon. But the comment was that since the moon orbited the earth, that the Apollo missions had technically never left the earth's orbit. I disagree.

It is unclear whether being in orbit around the moon is in fact also being in orbit around the earth. But I'm not talking about that.

But what is clear to me is that *while in transit* to the moon, the Apollo spacecraft was NOT in earth's orbit by any definition of the word "orbit." It had achieved escape velocity and had escaped the earth's orbit. Had the moon not been there to *decelerate* the spacecraft (and capture it in a lunar orbit), it was gone.

Anyone disagree? If so, why?

If you've heard of/seen google earth, you know what i'm talking about. What is the best site that lets you see images of earth: where you can pan and zoom in anywhere, with sharp, clear images?

I mean, since I am in the Astronomy & Space section, i was wondering if anyone, if given the chance, would go on a rocket, and travel through space.

I'll tell you, I would jump at the chance! It sounds like such a lovely and awe-striking experience!

My husband showed me a documentary that claims to have "irrefutable" evidence that the U.S. never landed on the moon in the late 60's...that there is no way that we can even go there now. What is your opinion about this issue? Did we go? Did the U.S. fake it? Give details....please.
