If something were to happen in space that would completely obliterate the moon, what effect would that have on the Earth?
Can the Earth maintain itself without the moon?

is the universe so small that we could just be the result of a sneeze from a higher being?

The NASA Budget for 2008 is aprox 17.5 Billion Dollars and that does not included some special programs. Instead of researching for water on distant planets the same recourses could be used to clean up the water on our planet. Knowing that Saturn's rings are more dense than what was though seems to be more important than people dying from drinking contaminated water.

Ok so its happened before.... our planet is struck regularly by objects crashing down on us from outer space. The best recorded of these events occurred in 1908 when a small asteroid, about 300 feet in diameter, exploded high above the Tunguska River valley in Siberia, producing a brilliant blue fireball that knocked people off their feet 40 miles away, and flattened millions of trees. But my QUESTION IS:- according to research we maybe in the collision course of an asteroid. The newly discovered threat to global civilisation is called 2000 SG344 and they say it MAY hit sometime in September 2028.

1) How many of you actually believe this? I mean there are ALWAYS articals on Asteroids on the same path of Earth and yet Nasa keep changing their spected dates of impact.

2) Lets say it IS true, would you want to be told or not and why?

Is it possible that some newly discovered species existing on Earth, or beneath the oceans, have arrived here on meteorites from other worlds. Could it also be possible that some species that have already gone extinct long ago were from other planets as well but couldn't adapt due to conditions here that weren't favorable to those of their home planet?

Maybe its a planet thats at its closest point to earth. Maybe its a star. Maybe its always been this bright and I just never noticed it before. But it is by far the brightest star I've ever seen. If you stand looking North, it's about 3/4 of the way up in the sky almost due West. I'm in Chicago, so with all the light pollution, it's amazing how bright it is.

Does anyone know its name or any other details?

I am told we are losing the Moon due to ebb & flow of our oceans. If you were to explain this to a non-mathematical minded person, how would you explain the interaction between the forces due to ebb & flow of our oceans and its "adverse" effect on our Moon nearly 380,000 Km away?

beyond our Solar System within the next 25 years, then doesn't that mean other superior races have definitely detected us by now?

If there really was or if there will be a stargate network that would allow people and objects to travel to other planets in seconds, would Earth's 6 symbol gate address be the same as in Stargate SG-1? 28.Auriga, 26.Cetus, 5.Centaurus, 36.Cancer, 11.Scutum, 29.Eridanus For the answer to be yes or plausible, I figure Eridanus or Auriga must be above the north or south pole. I may be wrong.
