Gravity and stable floor for a launch platform for rockets out of a shallower gravity properly, so much less gasoline is had to launch an identical mass from the Moon than the Earth. A Moon base is stepping stone to manned missions to the planets and Mmoons and asteroids, mining asteroids turns into extra achievable, yet that still creates a ethical and ethical dilemmas. can we rape the photograph voltaic gadget like we've raped Earth with the help of strip mining? scientific learn on the the geology (selenology)and seismology of the Moon. extensive radio telescopes interior the radio silent zone on the far factor of the Moon.

See www.heavens-above.com
You need to set your location (country and town/district) to get in, but once there it gives times to see ISS and also shows current position graphically. It also explains the change of altitude over time, and that it is at 342 km at the moment.
Click the Select at the bottom of the page, then choose your country, then enter you town or district.
Doesn't matter how small your town is, it will be on their database.

Around 200 miles. The altitude varies very little.
