If the Earth is a rock in space, and the moon in a rock in space, Why does earth have life and not the moon?

Question

Think about it.. it doesn't make sense. Or is there life there and were not being told about it. Why haven't we gone back to the moon in 35 years ? Think...
If your going to answer this, don't give me information you've read in a book about the moon, how do you know its true.. Have you been there> was the moon landing faked?

Answer 1

just a minute and ill ask my 7 year old grandaughter who has a lot of common sense. Geesh

Answer 2

Okay, to call the Earth and the Moon "rocks" and assume they are alike is a bit of an exageration. I´ve never been to the moon, no. But I believe no one has ever gone back there ´cause they got what they needed back in 1969. I dont think theres a plot to keep us from knowing there´s life there. The moon is smaller thatn the Earth, with very little gravity. They couldnt find water there (or did they?) and it´s been said that water, amongst with some gases, are the basics for life to start off from. Now, there might be different beings that can grow form different substances but no one knows that. Also, there´s the role of the Sun. And how it´s warmth makes life possible. I dont think the Moon gets any warmth from the Sun at all. It is possible that hte moon has life. Not life as we know it but microscopic life. After all "life" is a pretty broad term, isnt it?

Answer 3

Hey I was always told I had rocks in my head, but what you just said made me shake them up a little. What are you talking about?
I met Allen Shepherd and yes he was on the moon, nothing is fake. And he even took a real peanut in a shell with him for a man who owned a restaurant in LA California. When he returned with the peanut Jay Fiorendella the owner of Chez Jays encased that peanut on the wall with a signature by the great American Astronaut Allen Shepherd. Now as far as the moon it is a Satellite, Earth is a planet able to house all of us humans and to grow food, and we have an atmosphere that provides us with those elements of which we survive on this planet. The moon has no oxygen therefore no lifeform like us. It whips around chasing the sun and the earth to create a magnetic field to polarize the axis of which the earth maintains it's stability in the space it occupies, thus then you and I and the rest of the world will wake up every morning breathing and still alive. Get it?

Answer 4

well, first of all, to classify earth as a "rock" is kind of exaggerating. i mean, if earth was a "rock" then why isn't it barren. it is possible that the moon might have some sort of microscopic life, but if it does, it probably has not been discovered yet. the issue of life somewhere else but on earth is a big issue and is very controversial. most likely the government would have revealed about life elsewhere. about why earth got water for life and other planets did not, that is probably a mystery to everyone. anyway, the issue about finding life on other planets will probably not be turned into a mystery like Roswell, and the moon and other planets probably do not have life yet.

Answer 5

Your question presupposes that rocks in space would commonly have life. There is as yet no evidence to support this. LIfe is common on the earth because it is easy for life forms to migrate across the surface of the earth, but there are no life forms (other than humans of course) on earth that we know of that could journey from here to the moon or for that matter, to other planets. Our best current evidence suggests that the moon was formed from a collision between the earth and a mars sized planet. Debris from this collision eventually coalesced under the influence of gravity into our moon. The evidence further suggests that this ocurred very early in earth's history, before any life forms existed. I hope this answer helps you.

Answer 6

Life requires a fairly complex chemical environment. But the moon is made of mostly innert matter. Describing the Moon as a rock in space is almost exactly accurate. It is barren and desolate and contains no liquid water or ice (except for the possibility of ice in the permanently shaded craters in the Lunar poles).

As you know, describing the Earth as a rock in space is not very accurate. The Earth's crust is mostly covered by water; it has a complex atmosphere, it has weather patterns and tides and volcanic activity. It has many complex compounds and various mechanisms that "mix" these materials up in an almost infinite variety of combinations. All of these things provide energy, materials, protection, and opportunities for life to evolve.

The Moon. on the other hand, being inert, posesses none of these. It has no atmosphere or liquid water. And, because the Moon has no magnetic field, its surface offers no protection from harsh solar and cosmic radiation.

Among the materials that we know are most critical to living things that are almost non existent on the Moon are: Hydrogen, water (as we said earlier), free oxygen, nitrogen and carbon. Curiously, oxygen is the most abundant material on the Moon, comprising about 42% of the lunar regolith (or soil) by weight. But it is chemically bound up into inorganic rock and sand.

Answer 7

Well, the best I can do is tell you what I've read, and heard. Rumor has it that project Apollo was really cut short because the moon is occupied by highly advanced alien beings, and we simply are not welcome there. Many of the NASA photographs did show ancient megalithic structures on the surface. Most of these of course, were air brushed out. I have no doubt that we did actually go to the moon. It would have been quite impossible to fake all those pictures. There is significant evidence that the astronauts did see a great deal of UFO activity there, as well as evidence of such things as ongoing mining activity. There were HAM radio operators who tuned in to NASA's secret radio frequency, and heard them discussing such things. The lack of any appreciable atmosphere on the moon would produce a climate which would be in all likelihood too inhospitible for life to exist on the surface.

Answer 8

I agree that we shouldn't assume there's no life on the Moon.

After all, it wasn't discovered until very recently that water exists on our Moon.

Why haven't we been back to the Moon?

That's a real good question, and yes, there's been considerable speculation about it on late night talk radio programs.

No, I don't believe the Moon landing was faked, although I've heard opposite views from some of my acquaintances.

Answer 9

NO the moon landings happened as I did set the tracking console in Goddard just outside Washington D.C.
The other is the moon does not have enough gravity to hold enough atmosphere for anything to live on.

Answer 10

Because the Earth has climatic changes that are capable of influencing life. While the moon is truly a rock.

Answer 11

THE MOON IS A COLD ROCK. EARTH IS A ROCK WITH HEAT INSIDE IT. THE HEAT CAUSES GASES TO COME OUT OF THE ROCK, WHICH MAKES AN ATMOSPHERE. ATMOSPHERE = LIFE. ALSO, THE MOON COULD NOT SUPPORT AN ATMOSPHERE BECAUSE THE GRAVITY THERE IS TOO WEAK.
