...came up to you and suggested the moon landings were faked, what would you do?

After all the training, the time you missed with your family, the immense risk of leaving the earth, and knowing that you only had one shot at getting onto the moon or off the moon, how would you feel if one of these little idiots, who know nothing about space, the Apollo program, except what they hear from equally ignorant friends or from ludicrous conspiracy sites - tried to tell someone like you that you faked it.

I can't imagine what I would do...

It has been said that the longer one stays in space, one appears to look younger. What is the theory behind this statement?

A few years ago a NASA scientist made a mistake when converting metric to imperial and because of that one of the mars' probes crashed on the red planet. If rocket scientists can be so dumb what hope is there for everyone else?

This is kind of a poll rather than a question.
I watch almost every UFO program on TV...Personally I beleive there are civilizations in universe which are much much advanced then us and they have already been visiting and watching us. They must be so stealth that we cannot even spot them.

The question is: Whether alien relationship will be good for us or it will be the END...

Some of the facts from the past (Egypt etc) say that they helped earth with their knowledge and technology...so, may be it is for our good to have a freindly relationship with them and exchange Taco Bell with their rocket technology :-)).

May be Area 51 is already working with them for the good of world...Amen.

Thx.

I always wondered about this. On the TODAY show this morning, Julie said they wear diapers during launch and re-entry. What do they do in space? Maybe they wear catherters? How about weightlessness?

If time stops around them, then when you got ready to enter one you would stop. I heard time stops around a black hole.

I'm determined to see the Andromeda at the weekend, and I've seen the Orion nebula with it. Also, Saturn's at it's brightest for the year this weeked I think.

I understand that spacecrafts need to reenter the atmosphere at a certain angle to balance the rate of friction and the G's obtained because of a fast deceleration otherwise, it will burn in flames.

But why is the spacecraft said to be coming so fast in the first place?
Lets say that there is an object above Manhattan floating in space, and it is always keeping itself in the same place. That means to me traveling at the same speed of the earth and in the same direction, so there is no speed relative to the ground.

Then why that same object can't just come down at a slow speed and just enter the earth without complications about friction or anything? Pretty much the same as an elevator coming down vertically.

Why spacecrafts don't do the same? just place themselves right above the place where they need to land and come down at free fall speeds after a "pushdown" from zero gravity so they can enter the gravity zone?

What am i missing here?
Thanks

this is my guess:
when stars get too close to the earth gravity pulls them down......
what do you think?

What's your guess?
