because if something was going faster than the speed of light, we wouldn't even see it, because it would be going faster than the speed of light right?

Our universe has been around for some 15 billion years and has been expanding ever since. It is now said that our universe is expanding at an ever increasing pace. How can that be if the expansion has been increasing since it's explosive beginning so 15 billion years ago? If the speed of light is the limiter when would our universe need to stop it's wild ride? Also if an object is going to approach the speed of light it would need to gain infinite mass so how does this fit in?

I mean, seriously! Who put it there in the first place? Not the National Star Registry!

(Can you believe they can collect money for that)

Suppose a Day is 23 hours and 59 minutes. Every last minute, sunlight will come an avg. a minute sooner. After 90 days, we are talking 1.5 hours sooner, while night comes 1.5 hours sooner. How do we not experience this while we wait for Leap year to adjust a whole day?

I just read a Yahoo! article that said that scientists have discovered huge ice deposits on the south pole of Mars. In the article it says, "But while images taken by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft made public in December suggested the presence of a small amount of liquid water on the surface, researchers are baffled about the fate of most of the water. The polar deposits contain most of the known water on Mars."

Isn't it generally understood that the water on Mars has/had evaporated into space? Wouldn't that be a logical explanation? I don't understand why this theory is so difficult for the astronomical community to accept. So, please tell me what I don't know-- in other words, why are researchers "baffled about the fate of most of the water"?

Since the solar system was created from a disc of material, why is the Oort cloud a sphere? Why didn't the Oort cloud colapse into a disc of material when the nebula did that created the solar system did?

I love some of the rebuffs people make here to the idiots who keep asking that tired old question “did we really go to the moon?”. However, even some of the best answers seem to suggest that the reason nobody has been back is that there was no need – “been there, done that”.

That part of it is completely false. Lunar geologists were devastated about the cancellation of Apollo. There were a million things to learn about the moon that cannot be learned without humans digging around there.

Did you know that there were plans for a “moon flyer” – a small rocket propelled vehicle that could more easily get the astronauts to places that were too dangerous for the lander?

And if you want a good rebuff to those who say “how come 60’s technology got us to the moon, and we haven’t been back”, try this. 60s technology got us a supersonic airliner – the Concorde. We aint got one now, folks. Perhaps Concorde was a hoax.

there have been a lot of things that say they haven't and to say they have. but what confuses me is why have they never gone again, like now where better pictures can be taken and better technology is available that is what makes it sound fishy to me.

But what do you think
