Before answering this question...go to the following link and read this story about the rovers. (Please)

http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20071106/sc_space/marsroversscientificstayingpower

The rovers were only expected to last 90 days and now they have been working for over 3.5 years. My question is this: How do some people have the guts to complain about wasted taxpayer dollars for the space programs when many man made things like this give us waaay more of a return on investment than expected? How do they justify the complaining? (This is an actual question.)

For science I was supposed to watch the moon each night for the last 14 days (we stopped on Sunday), but I COMPLETELY forgot.
Is there a site that would tell me the phase of the moon, the time, and the weather conditions?

What are the chances of seeing two shooting stars at exactly the same time traveling right next to each other in the same exact direction, appearing at the same time and disappearing at the same time? The chances of this happening seems slim to me, and it happened to have happened after asking G-d for a sign, i don't care whether you believe me or not, but just tell me, is it likely?

Everyone's answer to what happens if you fall into a black hole is that you would get killed by being squished (by tidal forces). But it seems that everyone fails to keep in mind the relativistic effect that gravity has on time. Since time for the person falling will slow when they enter the stronger gravitational field, my idea is that the person will starve to death long before they actually get squished. Hows my logic?
For those of you who cant refrain from telling me that I will get squished no matter what, then answer this follow up question. Assume a hydrogen atom falls into the black hole, how many revolutions will its electron make before the atom becomes part of the black hole core? Compare this to a hydrogen atom that has not fallen into the black hole.

I bet my son the moon was rotating around the earths axis and he said it rotated around it`s own axis.
As this bet involves a not unsubstantial amount of money ( 1 million pounds) i wondered if I had fallen into a basic semantics trap. ie had I mistaken `moving` for rotation?
or are we both correct ?

Dark matter has been blamed for the irregular clumping and filamenting of huge numbers of galaxies. I don't see it. If the Universe expanded and then became asymmetrical, the condensing would continue toward centers of gravity, and not necessarily uniformly on a cosmic scale. If dark matter was 95% of the mass of the Universe, then this would explain NON-clumping and the *absence* of filaments. And if such matter exists and it interacts gravitationally, wouldn't there be gravitational centers where it constitutes the majority of the mass, like in giant stars? Yet we don't see any unexplained mass there. How can this stuff be 95% of the Universe and essentially 0% of stars?

I know I have read the questions concerning the speed at which they travel, do they feel the sensation of the 18000 miles an hour?

What kind of technology is that? Think about it, you have a remote control car it stops after like a few hundred feet? Mars is like 100,000,000 miles away and we can control a rover there to dig a hole?? Wonder if anyone can explain this to me....

im watching a cary grant movie called "topper" and in a bar there is a wireless device that controls the music.

which makes me wonder, if Hollywood took time to put the idea in the movie, in the 1930's, and the twilight zone began having these special devices doing similiar things, albeit in a total fictional sense, how close are we to having satelites that function like the ones in dejavu movie. ?

I was amazed with that when I first saw someone mention it here, but I have a new computer and no longer have the coordinates. If you have seen this thing, you will know what I am talking about. I can't find it. Coordinates, please?

Then how come it's so round.. ?

(Minus the Geographic Features, like mountains, and holes, and such...)
Like, From space you can see Earth as a round planet, Like all of the other planets.
So, If the World/Universe was made up by the clash of a bunch of rocks, how on Earth (haha) did these planets, like our own, develop as a sphere shape... ?
