...I know - the chance of it happening is perhaps 69 trillion to one, but with our different cultures, throught the globe - with main ones clashing any which way almost every day, will we all attempt to take on the 'unknown force' come the day we will have to strut our stuff with our chemical warfare and determination...at least it'll be a chance for the paranoiac countries to see what warfare their 'enemies' possess if the crap hits the fan (via Uranus - ahem). But all the same. Will we all stand up?

I got so bored with the space race stuff on the 50s and 60s, I stopped reading anything about it, but one thing has been eating away at me ever since ..... do you think a manned mission will ever succesfully land and walk on the moon? I have wondered this since 1963, and want to know what you think

The subject is Pioneer 10 and 11 and Voyager 1 and 2.
The question is: Do you think further research/programs are needed and explain WHY YES or NO!

I ve heard of this telescope thats electronic. In its memory are stored about 4000 space objects and when asked it will automatically point to them! You basically need to just enter your country coordinates and its ready to go.

Anyone has one of these? Whats it called?

12 billion years back big occured. then unverse size was very small but expansion rate was deffinattly less then speed of light then how the radiation that we are reciveing now are reaching us now . because they should have crossed us by now should be out side the universe pretty for away ( hint:- Can anthing go out of universe).

I am still confused about using a webcam in astrophotography. Do we have to use the eye piece intact and webcam lense intact while mounting the cam to the scope. Or do we have to remove the webcam lense and the eyepiece and expose the ccd directly to the light without using the eye piece.

I have heard different views on this topic I wish to know which one is correct, most of the websites claim to remove the eyepiece and the webcam lense before mounting and this makes sense to me but please confirm what is the correct method for mounting a webcam onto a newtonian scope for planatery astrophotography?

Kindly quote the website source as well if possible

thanks
