Not just referring to '69.

Twice in 1969 (Apollos 11 & 12).
Twice in 1971 (Apollos 14 & 15).
Twice in 1972 (Apollos 16 & 17).

Personally, I don't believe this to be a hoax at all. But I'm curious to see how many people actually do, and why.

How come the Hubble Space Telescope, being capable, can photograph objects billions of lightyears away from Earth with great clarity and detail (stars, mok globules, etc.), while it can only get 'this close' when photographing Mars, or Europa or other 'much closer' objects in our own backyard?

Why even the need to send orbiting crafts to these nearby objects to get an - even then - not so sharp images?

Or maybe NASA is not providing the public with such 'ala google-earth' photos of our neighboring planets?

(*head scratch*) Refractive problems, hyperopia perhaps?

I was rehearsing for a radio play put on by my HS radio club. We were at the studio and I was leaning on the teletype machine when it started clicking. I looked down and read that Russia had launched the first earth orbiting satelite.

OK, then, how long is the year used for this measurement? 365 days? 365.25 days? Or, is it the exact time for one revolution of the Earth around the sun, and if so, how long is that?

say there was a planet you could live on, anywhere in the galaxy that was completely hospitable to human life. where in the galaxy would you want to live and why? what do you imagine the view would be like??? im just curious as to where people might think a beautiful place in the milkyway might be!!! i dont want any scientific answers about why life is or is not possible in certain locations...lets just speculate that you would be able to live anywhere. tell me where it would be.

My physics teacher gave an extra credit assignment worth 20 points. i want those points so i attempted at it with a 2 page paper and that took me 5 hrs of straight research and he rejected my paper with the saying that the stars/sun move or the earth moves around the sun/stars, and we all knows this is false but i have to prove it in a way that can't be disproved. So if you know and expirement/theory or what ever please let me know cause its bugging the hell out of me.

Your storing plutonium waste underground, and it will remain deadly for thousands of years. How would you build a "danger no trespassing" sign, that would stand through the ages. And still be understandable to a people or even species, that may have absolutely no knowledge that we even existed? And definately may not know what radioactive waste is.

I believe that time is not infinite. It is mearly a concept devised by man as a way of recording and tracking the events of the pass. If every thing was wiped uot and nothing existed then there would be no events to record...thus the end of time.Time would not go on if there was nothing because there would be no one to record that period of nothingness... wich is why time began with the big bang(says man) because no one can even guess what the univerce was like befor then.

begins to fall from ten million km distance. How fast will it be going when it hits (relative to Earth). I believe it will never exceed the "Escape Velocity" of Earth, even if it is a light year away. What about 100 light years, etc.? Anyone?

I just don't get it, Earth is the only planet with life but other planets are not. These unstable planets are wasting there time here but Jupiter is keeping the rocks from falling into earth. We don't need those other gas planets. It seem to me Venus, Mercury should have life like earth but it don't. Is mars consider a planet or a moon.

What would happen if all that existed was two stars, completely identical in every way, and you were standing right between them, dead center? Would gravity be cancelled out? What would happen to you? (I mean, aside from dying in the vacuum) Would it depend on how far apart the stars were? What would happen if they were relatively far apart? If they were close?

Thanks!

If jupiter is a gas planet then why it have moons for, there nothing living on jupiter but maybe we can live on europa. It seems that Europa should be the planet and Jupiter be the moon. We don't need these other planets bc they don't have no life to it.

I want to buy a telescope that will help me see other galaxies from earth. How much would this kind of telescope cost?

I think they will died if they landed on venus or any other planet but anyways I had this dream about me being stuck in space an land on the planet venus, it had red clouds, wram weather and etc. Then I saw people but strange looking, they ask me where you came from I said Earth I didn't understand there language at all.

That was strange a dream! I believe that there are diffrent kind of human-beings living on other planets for venus, mercury, saturn, juipter and etc. We can't live there bc we are design to live on earth.

Can anyone tell me some alternative theories to the big bang? (NOT "God made it"). Alternative scientific theories, and maybe some links to their wikipedia pages. Thanks

I want to get my nine year old son a telescope and a microscope for Christmas. He has tons of toys so his dad and I have been trying to figure out something good for him that he'd enjoy. I know he'd like these items. The problem is I have no idea of how to go about buying them. For instance, what is a good brand? What's a good one for kids? I looked on ebay and they had all this stuff along with the description that I didn't understand.

Does anyone know of a good brand for kids that's not real expensive?
