Im a 15 year old so give me some slack and yeah I never witnessed the moon landings ofcourse however I have seen repeats from youtube and I have considered that maybe the reason NASA might of faked a moon landing was because of their fear of the Soviet Union because if you research the past they werent far in front of the Soviets and the only evidence of them beating the Soviets were through the apollo missions. Also why would they just hault after going to the moon and a few times afterwards ofcourse they do nothing for 30 years and then anounce now they want to go back in 2020? Seems strange to me that they would go back with men when they could just use robotics by then anyway at the rate there advancing I mean look at ASIMO he could lead the mission (kidding!). If you say its cause it costs a lot of money to go to the moon well thats not a matter when americas in debt and has been before the missions.

Please dont lecture me but I would like answers to why man needs to go back?

This question is for all you people interested in time travel, and anybody else is welcomed to answer this question to. I always wondered which would be more fun, to go back or forward in time. If you go way forward in the future, then chances are you could be flying cars in the air like planes, which would be so awesome. If you go way back in time, then you can see what dinosaurs really looked like and well that would be quite the adventure. I'd probably pick the past because of that, what do you think people?

Ok, so my question is most scientist agree that space is infinite, theoretically speaking. What are the numbers that prove this? Equations? Can someone point me in the right direction here.

I know that it's when nothings there, but does anyone have a scientific way of explaining it?

I found this sight http://www.ibiblio.org/lunar/school/index.html and I was seriously bummed when I found out that the sight had not been updated in over 11 years. I was wondering if anyone knew of a currant project like this one (if so pleas post a link to there website). If no one knows of such a group who would be interested in helping me to start one? It would basically be an online think tank, we would work on practical designs for launching systems, space craft, space stations, lunar and Martian colonies and whatever else we decide to work on (it doesn’t have to be space related). eventually we may even submit our ideas to the government or one or more corporations in an attempt to get funding for them (thou that’s quite a ways off if it happens at all)

Let me make a few things clear right now. First this would not be a fanfic or sci-fi group (so no transporters or warp drive), my hope is that even if nothing we design ever gets built maybe it will inspire something that will be built and lead to a better future. Second, let me say that you do not need a degree to join the think tank (I’ve never been to a day of collage and I’m the one starting the group).

Why should space-time have an overall shape, such as being positively curved (like a sphere), negatively curved (like a saddle), or flat (like a perfect plane)?

If the force of gravity between the sun and the planets suddenly disappeared, what type of path would the Earth follow?

If gravity pulls matter so hard that light can't escape, it must be traveling at the speed of light somewhere else because of a difference in pressure, right?

Think of our universe as a balloon that's got a slow leak (black hole). It's known that our universe is expanding, so there must be something that's keeping matter in our balloon and inflating it but at the same time still allowing slow leaks to escape, right?

I think a hot air balloon may explain this. When heat is introduced, the balloon fills up with hot air and it expands, and in order to keep the balloon afloat, constant heat must be added.

Well, Stars are a constant source of heat, and although their heat may struggle to reach out of our solar system, trillions of stars could produce enough heat to make our universe expand and compensate for the leak. So if what-ever is outside of our universe, must be either colder or have less matter(diffusion).
Can someone chime in on this?

What was the local moon temperature when astronaut's landed on moon. Local means - the temperature where they stayed until they returned to their space shuttle.

I am asking this question because I know that temperature on Moon goes to extremes; more than 100 degree celsius at noon time, where if we want to boil water we do not need artificial heat and water will boil automatically and also can cook food without fire. In the night temperature goes about minus170 degree celsius.

So what time of the day they were on the Moon? If they lived on moon at a period of the day which was a "tolerable range" say early morning or late evening time, then was there any urgency from their side to take off from moon again before the temperature goes to extremes?

I suppose there was a movie - where the astronauts land on an asteroid on night however they had to leave the asteroid before sun rise because with the sun rise the temperature would rise too much so that they would die immediateltly.

Media manipulation tech can do anything, even if you do not trust them.
Within 7 generations you might put your head on something else than now as syake of what you traininged for.

are seasons caused by the closeness to the sun?

if true:
why are different places on Earth (in the north and south) the same temp. sometimes?

if false:

what does cause seasons?

Sorry, I asked this question before but it got deleted and I didn't get to write down the suggestions you all gave me!

I'm interested in Astronomy and Physics but I know nothing, so what books would you recommend?

Thanks.

if Rigel is extremely bright (40,000 times more than the sun at visible wavelengths) and burns with a blue-white light, why would this indicate that it is much younger than the Sun?

i thought young stars were cool, and that red stars were cool and blue ones were hot. if Rigel is shining blue then surely this should indicate that it is actually hotter and therefore older than the Sun?
