Astronomy & Space - May 2007

With all the stuff going on right now, do you think we're the engineers of our own demise? And do you think any divine being is going to save us?

I came up with this idea and I am curious to see what you all think.
We exist on Earth and in our solar system yet when we look at another star we are actually looking into the past. Say for example we see a civilization on another planet some 500 light years away looking back at us with a telescope we are seeing them 500 yrs ago and they are seeing us 500yrs ago from their time for a total of 1000yrs difference.
See Example:
Earth(year 2007)---500 L.Y.---> Alien planet(year 1507)

Earth(year 1007) <---500 L.Y.--- Alien Planet(year 1507)

We would see them as they looked at us, but they would be seeing us during the year 1007 A.D. So our two civilizations could never knowingly exist or communicate with one another at any given point during the same exact time. So are we alone then?

I saw the moon with a very bright planet under it and what looked like to more planets on either side of the moon at the top. It looked like the three planets were creating a triangle around the moon. I live in Northwest Montana. The northern lights were out at the same time it was amazing.
thanks for answering

This is a news article I read this morning and I'm a bit confused..
Best HOAXES of all time- 1-25
15. Apollo Moon Landing Hoax (1969)
You're aware that we never landed on the moon, right? It was all just an elaborate hoax designed to score Cold War points for the United States against the Soviet Union in a world of falling dominoes. The whole lunar landing thing? It was a video staged at movie studios and top-secret locations.
Okay, you can stop laughing now, but some sites, such as Apollo Reality and Moon Landing, still insist that the Eagle never landed. Of course, enemies of Flat Earthism will point to the Rocket and Space Technology site, which does an in-depth job of debunking the hoax. But true disbelievers should check out this terrific video spoof, complete with outtakes showing lights and cameras.

I know that when something enters our atmosphere there is all the heat and burning coming in. Like comets etc that usually burn up coming in or space ships coming back in have to have heat shields etc. I have never heard of this happening when there are rockets or space ships leaving the atmosphere. Is there that same burn when leaving earth as there is when coming back in? Or is it only when an object is coming into our atmosphere that it is burned up? If there is no burn going out why not?

Of course, I know this will not happen. Just curious about what some might think would be the differences here on Earth. How important to us is that big rock up there anyway?
