Question #1:
Help with a light-year math question, please?
A light-year is the distance light can travel in one year. Light travels at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second. Commercial television broadcasting began in 1939. Television signals travel at the speed of light. How far away would a space probe have to be before it could no longer detect those signals?Question #2:
Do they still use monkies for space research?
What about all them monkies from the 60's, what happened there, did they retire them, did they just say thanx for coming guys, or did they give them jobs as janitors or something? Are any of them still employed by NASA? Are any of their children or grandchildren involved in space travel? Do they get together for space monkie reunions and have midnite banana party's and stuff? Wouldnt they be old and fat by now?Question #3:
Why do people assume the New World Order is bad?
Think about it; if there were no borders in the world people from poor countries could work in developed countries, there would be wider opportunities for traveling, there would be no wars because we would be one big country and all the laws would be the same in the world. The European union was a wonderful idea and if it wasn't for it Europe would be a battlefield and the African union should make things better in Africa.; more people could live better lives. So whats so bad about the new world order?If the world is unified, we will be one people, there will be no culture, no religion(the whole world will be atheist), no racism, no wars, or other nonsense, and we can finally focus our attention away from making weapons and into discovering new medicines for Cancer, AIDS, mad cow disease, and other incurable diseases maybe even wipe out every disease on Earth.
We would also explore space and learn new things maybe even discover life on other planets.
I guess countries will have no culture or religious beliefs but I'd be willing to take that for peace among humans, cooperation, and understanding.
Chip implants would wipe out fraud and identity theft and help track down abducted children.
Reverend Jim Jones - That never happened; stop watching Fox News.
Question #4:
Traveling at close to the speed of light, how fast would a space ship reach the nearest star to us?
I think Proxima Centauri or Alpha Centauri star system is the closest or something. Also, is it possible to make a ship go close to the speed of light, like within a few miles per second.Question #5:
Who loathes it when someone sits next to them on the bus?
When travelling on public transport and the buses or trains are full and there is no where to sit who gets frustrated about this? Also when you are sitting on a bus and want to take it easy and have places to put your shopping on then suddenly more and more people come on the bus don't you mind or loathe this? Or if someone is taking too much space sitting next to you and you don't have enough space to move about especially if the person appears big. Please let me know your experience on the bus or train thanks. Even on a aeroplane when you might have to sit next to strangers sometimes. thanks.By the way I dont drive Im too nervous and I travel in my husbands car.
I only generally wanted your opinions thats all.
Question #6:
can anything be said to exist "outside of" or independent of Time/Space, and if so how and why?
IMAGINE GETTING IN A SPACESHIP and never reaching the end,but if you travelled through all that empty space observing planets and came to the end of space,what is on the other side?nothing?empty space,but that is something, is it endless,what if space was spherical and you travelled in a circle,like earth,then whats on the other side of the sphere?empty space?,SO HOW CAN the darwins of the world come up with a theory when we don't anything about what's happening 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, trillion miles awayQuestion #7:
Should Moronic Design Theory be taught alongside the Theory of Evolution in science class?
Moronic Design is the theory that this planet and the life on it arose at some indeterminate past time through the actions of a creator, the exact nature of which is not known other than the fact that he, she, or it was a moron.There is copious evidence for this position:
1. The human eye has a blind spot -- and you can't see it.
2. The continents keep moving around and running into each other, causing earthquakes, volcanoes, and other potentially fatal inconveniences.
3. African locusts have the nerves necessary to run their wings located in their abdomens, which is like having the switch for your bedside lamp in the kitchen.
4. We don't want to get into the details of the human male prostate gland and urethra, but believe us, they're problematic.
5. Pandas have five fingers and a thumb that's all bony, making some natural thumb activities (e.g., hitchhiking) impossible.
6. The human appendix is of dubious necessity and sometimes explodes.
7. Compared with those of many other primates, human toes aren't good for much other than nail painting.
8. You can't go faster than the speed of light, making interstellar travel inconvenient at best.
9. Many animals don't mind drinking the same water they go to the bathroom in (ew!)
10. Viruses are so weird that we can't even decide if they're alive or not and they serve no useful purpose, unless you consider killing, causing discomfort, or making an evil cosmological power laugh at meaningless suffering a useful purpose.
11. Quantum physics, which just makes no sense at all.
12. Insects are sometimes born with legs instead of antennae, snakes sometimes have an extra head, and there are conjoined twins all over the place.
13. Humans grow wisdom teeth, but often don't have anywhere in their mouth to put them.
14. Pluto isn't quite a planet and isn't quite a rock, and has a seriously weird orbit.
15. A flounder's eyes won't stay put.
16. Leeches sometimes swell up so much with blood that they pop.
17. The bombardier beetle -- what intelligent being would give weapons like that to a bug?
18. Some insect species have males that don't live after losing their virginity.
19. Honey bees often die after stinging an enemy.
20. Cows, whales, and many other animals without toes have toe bones.
21. Animals that live in the water but can't breathe water.
22. The human "funny bone," which isn't really funny at all.
23. Kiwis have wings that aren't good for anything, not even eating.
24. Nipples for men.
25. Stuff in outer space keeps running into each other.
26. There is a type of lizard called the cnemdophorus, and every single one of them is female.
27. With alarming consistency, the most intelligent creatures in existence throw out the evidence of their senses and intellect in favor of beliefs that are hundreds or even thousands of years out of date.

Question #8:
At what speed would a gram of uranium have to be moving to match it's fission explosive power?
Take a gram of (highly enriched, weapons grade) uranium. If it is caused to explode in a fission reaction, it will yield X amount of energy.At what speed would an identical gram of uranium have to be traveling such that it's kinetic energy equaled X. Or, perhaps, that at impact it's kinetic energy equaled X.
Traveling in outer space, of course. This question occurred to me while watching a show on asteroid impacts. [No, I am not in school and lazy. I just don't know physics, but do know how to phrase a question.]
Question #9:
Physics questions. Please help!!?
The average speed of the space shuttle while in orbit is about 8905 m/s. How far does the space shuttle travel during a mission that lasts 7.4 days, which is 639360 seconds?I used the formula distance = velocity/ time and did not get the correct answer.
A cat is being chased by a dog. Both are running in a straight line at constant speeds. The cat has a head start of 3.6 m. The dog is running with a speed of 8.9 m/s and catches the cat after 6.4 s. How fast did the cat run?
I tried this one a variety of ways and I keep coming up with the wrong answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Question #10:
Is it feasible for a manned space shuttle to travel further than the distance of mars?
In terms of oxygen, food ,power and the amount of storage space you would need to sustain astronauts.using present technology
Question #11:
What would be your first impression?
If someone posted this as a "26 secrets tag" on their facebook.I sing out loud when I'm the only one on a subway.
When I sit in public, I pretend to read when really I'm eavesdropping on conversations around me.
When I was 4 years old I told my gradfather I hated him, he passed away before I could apologize. I'm still sorry.
When I was a child, I used to think my life was a book being read by King Babar to his children. I was afraid that one day he would close the book and my life would be over.
I once dated a bisexual, he passed away the same night when he told me he loved me. Everyday I feel guilty for dating someone thas not him.
I wish that my real father could have been a solider, so that when people ask why he wasn't there I could tell them he died and not that he didn't care enough to be my dad.
Whenever I'm at church and everyones praying. I bow my head and think about the tv programs I plan to wach.
I rescue earthworms from sidewalks so they don't get squished.
If I had to choose two people in the world to save, I would choose my dogs.
When I'm bored, I look at the people around me and wonder what they're thinking and how there lives are.
I take down all the "Privacy/Do not disturb" signs down in every hotel I attend. I find the thought of awkward encounters for cleaning ladies truley amusing.
Everytime I travel to a new country, I collect a football jersey of that country. These jerseys take up 3/4 of my closet space.
I once cheated on my eye exam to get the glasses I've always wanted.
When christmas shopping, I judge people by how many bags they're carrying. I don't feel the slightest guilt but I feel guilt for not feeling guilty.
I always try to accomplish something before the microave beeps, whether its going to the bathroom or turninng on the tv 2 floors below me.
When I was at a hotel in England, I told my friend that his "lucky" sweater got lost in the airport 'cause it was ugly. He told me it was his goodluck charm. When Real Madrid lost, I believed him and spent 2 hours looking for the sweater. I found it and wear it every match without him knowing (:
I like to snoop in other peoples medicine cabinet.
Those traffic lights that count down really stress me out.
I once called in sick for school cause I couldn't find my matching shoe.
I once told my friends I ran for the cancer research marathon, but I went to starbucks that day and watched everyone run past the window.
I judge people by which section they are in in a book store.
I don't eat twinkies but when I'm in the aisle there in, I like to smash them in their packaging.
When my parents treat me well, I feel guilt like I don't deserve it.
When meeting new people I use a british accent. They always fall for it :)
If bathrooms have foam soap, I pile it up like a foot high.
I am book smart but don't have a lick of common sense. If I could, I would switch those in an instant.

Its called the 26 secrets tag. Would you think they're depressed?
Question #13:
Can sound travel through space?
Would you be able to hear the sound of honking horns from another spacecraft or a moving planet or something?Question #14:
if time travels, then what is time?
If the sky is the limit, then what is space?Question #15:
what are some songs about space travel or spaceships?
2ndq..anyone feel like tagging along?Nina..wherever you want..you drive.
Question #16:
What is the maximum speed man could safely travel through outer space?
In order to cover interstellar distances in reasonable times, the velocity of a future spaceship would have to travel at a considerable fraction of the speed of light. As the velocity is increased ever nearer to the speed of light, the cosmic background radiation becomes ever more blue shifted towards lethal X-ray and gamma ray wavelengths, and aberration displaces stars ever closer together in the direction the spaceship is travelling. At 99% the speed of light these effects would presumably be within safe limits, but the time dilation factor is only about 7, not really sufficient for journeys across the galaxy. What would be a safe velocity which would maximise the time dilation factor?Question #17:
what happens if you keep traveling below are Solar system?
ok... earth isn’t just floating in mid space right? its sitting on the universe right? or not? when you watch shows like the universe on the history channel it shows all the planets sitting on the universe that creates the gravitational pull right?...so the universe is expanding in all directions or its just expanding length wise not width.. if its all directions does that mean that there’s are stars below are solar system?I might sound like an idiot but I cant wrap my head around

ok i know no up or down i get that. so asuming your on a dark night in the middle of the south pole you could see stars?
Question #18:
What's this interesting movie's name called,please:)?
the movie is about several astronauts went out to space for a mission.however, as the movie went to the end, the astronauts walked out to the spaceship only to find that the space travel was not real. they were in a simulation room!
and at the time the earth had already been destroyed :(
Question #19:
a theoretical question about relativity - how we perceive time at different speeds.?
sorry if the explanation is bad but here's my question:if somebody manipulates gravity and spacetime to travel faster than the speed of light will they age slower than somebody travailing at the speed of light using conventional methods.
im talking about a Vehicle which manipulating space time so makes the distance shorter and can travel a light year in less than a year compared with a Vehicle that travels at the speed at light.
im curios to whether the distance the object travels per second causes time to happen at different speeds or whether its the velocity of the object.
please ignore whether these to vehicle will ever be possible and ignore the fact that second would have a infinite mass.
Question #20:
What has NASA contibuted towards space exploration and space travel?
