Astronomy & Space - November 2007

The cost of sending people to mars would be many times more than that of sending machines.
"Spirit" and "Opportunity" were an amazing success, surpassing many of our expectations ( or at least mine).
Do you think sending humans to mars is worth the astronomical price?

In the Big Bang Theory the universe is expending outwards. Has anyone read or heard where our solar system lays from the center of the universe? I mean it has to be a center of where it originated. We may not know the edge of the universe but how about the center? Is our solar system towards a fourth, third, the middle, the end from the center? Any takers?

A friend asked if I could find anything on an asteroid heading for earth & a laser that supposedly is in space that will eliminate the asteroid before it hits earth. Is there any such thing, or is he reading too many sci-fi books?

I would think after almost 40 years they'd have a resort on the moon or least talking about it, it seems like it won't happen during my lifetime

when nearing a black hole, it is said that there is a boundary known as the 'event horizon' which is like the line of no return,.....however, i was reading on a SECOND boundary line AFTER the event horizon.....it's like this:

| || |

it's like the first line is the event horizon, and between the single line and the double, is the space time dilation.,...after the the double lines, there is supposed to be a second horizon.....where the time dilation ENDS.....does anyone know the name of this horizon or where i can find good information on it/ ? does any one know of it? thanks! ^_^

The telescope that I got as a gift is a Keplerian type (all eyepieces are convex) resulting in an inverted (mirror) image of the objects I'm looking at. Is there a practical reason why these telescopes are not all by default corrected with a third lens? Apparently a prism can be purchased for that purpose to correct terrestrial images. Is it then widely accepted for celestial sights to be displayed inverted?

i saw a documentary on him once, he said he reached 200mph when he reached the atmosphere.

Oh and i am aware of my gaffe of describing it as skydiving when he's doing it from beyond the sky, but space diving sounds crappy
