Not with the budget most likely no.... at the time.... (Daniel) || 2)When Neil Armstrong took that first historical step and said "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" it would not have occurred to anyone that the step he took in the dust of the moon was there to stay. It will be there for millions of years because there is no wind on the moon. 3)The moon rotates at 10 miles per hour compared to the earth's rotation of 1000 miles per hour. || 1.Why is the moon named the moon? The words moon and month have the same root word. So the reason behind calling our moon "Moon" is that they used the phases of the moon to measure a month. (Nadine) 1.How big whould the american flag on the moon have to be to see it from earth? 1.How long would it take for something to get to the moon from earth at light speed? 1.28seconds(Daniel) || 2.) It would take four days to travel around the entire diameter of the moon by car. || 1.)What is the highest jump/longest step anyone ever took while on the moon? 10 feet straight up ( DAVID ) 2.) Scientists have been talking about us living on the moon. How many years into the future do they think it will be when we start to populate the moon? || Actually, Barker never went to the moon, he was the first living thing, other than fruit flies, to orbit the Earth. (Mr. Patsch) Why at night when it is really dark I can only see stars and the moon is hidden? || 2.) Only 59% of the moon's surface is visible from Earth. 3.) When a month has two full moons, the second one is called a Bue Moon. 4.) The moon rotates at 10mph compared to the Earth's rotation of 1000mph. 5.) If you were to drive your car around the Moon, it would take 4 Earth days. 6.) To travel to the moon by the speed of light, it would take 1.52 seconds. || 1.) When did NASA first start interacting with schools and creating projects for them? 2.) How far away is Earth from the Kieper Belt? 3.) Is it possible for a month to have two solar eclipses? 4.) How long does it take for Venus to travel around the Sun once? 5.) If you drove your car to Saturn, how long would it take? 6.) How long would it take to travel to Neptune at the speed of light? || So photos can be taken at different angles. (Nadine) || 2.Space suits worn by astronauts to the moon weigh 180 pounds on earth but only 30 pounds on the moon do to low gravity. 3.Pluto has 3 moons,with two being named Nix and Hydra || 1.When was the most recent human mission to the moon? 1972 (Nadine) 2.When fruit flys orbited earth,did they wear tiny spacesuits or something? No they were in containers ( David ) 3.What encouraged Neil Armstrong to be the first astronaut to the moon? His love of flying grew when he was constantly traveling as a child. (Nadine) (And it was __Neil__ Armstrong, not Lance Armstrong. Lance was the bicycle rider.) Fixed it.(Daniel) 4.Which planet or moon are scientists most looking at for the chance of human civilization?(Moon,Mars,Kepler22B) || Around 107°C (225°F), but can be **as high as 123°C** (253°F). (Nadine) || (Chaos in Orion) || 1.)Venus's mass is 4.8685. 2.)NASA's spacecraft,Kepler, launched March 6. 3.)NASA's Mars Science Laboratory launched it's Curiousity Rover November 26,2011. 4.)Dr.Eugene Shoemaker a Geological Surveyor taught the Apollo mission astronauts. 5.)The Moon is a member of our Solar System and is the Earth's natural satellite. 6.)The Moon is slowly moving away from the Earth.Back then the Moon appeared about 3 times larger in the sky than it does today, because it was closer to Earth. 7.)The astronauts footprints on the Moon should last roughly about 10 million years. 8.)If you were to drive around the Moon by car it would take about 4 days. 9.)If you were to travel to the Moon at the speed of light it would take 1.52 seconds. || 1.)What is the polar radius of Venus? The polar radius of Venus is 6051.8 (Erin) 2.)At what exact time did Kepler launch? March 6th at 10:49pm and 57 seconds. (Morgan) 3.)Where did the Curiousity Rover launch? 4.)Why was Dr.Eugene Shoemaker not allowed to be an astronaut? He had medical problems. (Nadine) 5.)What is the Moon's rotation period called? 6.)Is the Moon's atmosphere about the same now as it was 3 billion years ago?Why? 7.)What astronauts where on the Apollo 11 mission to the moon? Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon on July 20th, 1969 and walked on the surface, while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit. (Morgan) 8.)What is the volume of the Moon? The volume of the Moon is 2.1958.(Cydney) 9.)What is the Moon's volume compared to? The moons volume is being compared to the Pacific Ocean.(Cydney) || Christian settlers also called this the Lenten Moon and considered it the last moon of winter. || 1.When is the Earth going to end? 2.How old is the Sun? The sun is about 4.5 billion years old. (Nadine) || sections. || 1.)The mass on Mars is 0.64185. 2.)The Moon is 4.5 billion years old. 3.)An eclipse of the Sun can occur only at a new Moon. 4.)The volume of Earth is 5.9736. 5.)It takes 110.656 hrs to orbit around Saturn. 6.)To travel to the Moon by car it would take 180 days. 7.)Ceres is the largest asteroid. || 1.)What is the mass on Earth? Approximately 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms (Nadine) 2.)How old is Venus? Venus is about 4.6 billion years old. (Nadine) 3.)An eclipse of the Moon can only occur at what stage of the Moon? 4.)What is the mass of Saturn? 5.) When was the JUNO mission launched? 6.)Does the Moon have a global magnetic field? 7.)Who discovered Ceres? || 2.) I saw a picture that looked like a dog playing with a ball on the moon. (GRAIL MoonKAM, MoonKAM image gallery, MoonKAM album, image 9619, page 4.) 3.) I saw massive, random chunks out of the moon in the same area. (GRAIL MoonKAM, MoonKAM image gallery, MoonKAM album, image 10288, page 6.) 4.)I saw oddly looking ripples on the moon's surface. They seem to be scattered mountain ranges. (GRAIL MoonKAM, MoonKAM image gallery, MoonKAM album, image 12416, page 10.) Great observations! I looked at the pictures, they're really great . Mr. Patsch || 1.) There's about 170,000 kilograms, or 375,000 pounds, of human-made material on the Moon.This includes functional items left by the Apollo astronauts, such as reflectors that allow scientists to calculate the exact distance to the Moon, and sensors that measured “moonquakes.” But there's also lots of useless debris. 2.) Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, a Geological Surveyor, who educated the Apollo mission astronauts about craters, never made it into space himself, but it had always been one of his dreams. He was rejected as an astronaut because of medical problems. After he died, his ashes were placed on board the Lunar Prospector spacecraft on January 6, 1999, which was crashed into a crater on the moon on July 31, 1999. 3.) It costs about $10,000 through $30,000 to send ONE pound of spacecraft into space. That means that the spacecrafts Ebb and Flow might have cost about $6,770,000 each to send into space. 4.) Meteorites that fell to Earth during a meteor shower in July of 2011 have been confirmed to be from Mars. The rocks, discovered in Morocco, were likely ejected off the surface of the planet during an ancient asteroid impact. 5.) The sunlight we see today is actually 30,000 years old. That’s when the energy of sunlight was created in the sun’s core, and it has since then been fighting to penetrate the dense matter of the sun. Scientists have confirmed that, due to its age, sunlight does in fact smell like old people. 6.) It's so cold that Pluto’s ice is harder than steel. 7.) Solar winds are streams of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the sun that cause it to lose up to a __billion kilograms of mass a second.__ 8.) In 2004, astronomers discovered a star composed entirely of diamond, measuring 4,000 km across and 10 billion trillion trillion carats. 50 light years from Earth, the diamond star is classified as a crystallized white dwarf. 9.) Buzz Aldrin's(second man on the moon) mother's maiden name was "Moon". 10.)The heart of an astronaut gets smaller when in outer space. 11.) The density of Saturn is so low that if you were to put it in a giant glass of water it would float. 12.) If two pieces of metal touch in space, they become permanently stuck together. 13.) The Earth gets 100 tons heavier every day due to falling space dust. 14.) If you were to fall into a black hole, you would be stretched into 2 miles by the time your head was in the hole. || 1.) Why did the astronauts leave garbage on the moon? 2.) Why did it take the spacecraft Flow more time to reach the moon than the spacecraft Ebb? Flow launched slightly after Ebb (Daniel) 3.) Is NASA planning to or has already sent a human to explore outside The Milky Way? At this time, no human is expected to explore outside of our Solar System. We don't have the technology to send a person that far into space. It would take over 30 years to get beyond the Kuiper Belt, not to mention the danger of flying through an asteroid belt. (Mr. Patsch) 4.) Who makes spacesuits and how long does it take to make one? 5.) For how long have we had rovers on Mars? 6.) Is NASA planning to send rovers to other planets? Or are there already rovers on other planets? 7.) How does NASA choose which astronauts go on certain missions? 8.) How much training does an astronaut have to have before going into space? 9.) What was the most dangerous mission that NASA has ever done? 10.) Have more men or women been to the moon? Yes,more men or women have been to the Moon.(Cydney) 11.) Could an asteroid (or other space matter) be big enough and hit the moon at such a speed that it would knock the moon out of orbit entirely? Yes, and if it did, it could potentially change Earth as we know it, especially tides, which would throw off our climate. (Erin) 12.) If there's no gravity in space, how come the American flag or any other flag on the moon doesn't float away? Images show that the flags(more then one) are dug into the surface of the moon.(Daniel) || The Earth is bigger than the moon. John || The Moon is 2,160 miles in diameter. (Mr.Patsch) || Vredefort crater is the largest crater on Earth. It is located in South Africa. It is 190 miles in diameter. That is about the distance from Highland Falls to Lake George!!!
