I know it’s a dumb question, but I’ve always been extremely interested in Astronomy (planets, space, stars, etc) and I’ve always wondered if there will ever be a day when we can send a satellite that can take pictures of… Continue Reading
The word "day" has a broad meaning. Look it up. It has many definitions besides "24 hours". So why believe literally that God created the earth at the same time as the rest of the universe and before the star… Continue Reading
I looked @ a pic in popular mechanics or something a few days ago on what it seemed to be a space based laser system. If not actually up in orbit now,could it be possible to build one nowadays,using today’s… Continue Reading
1 a small body from wich a planet oringinated in the early stages of development of the solar system. 2 a telescope that uses a set of lenses to gather and focus light from distant objects 3 the time required… Continue Reading
Industrial conversion and life-style changes in all the countries to stop global warming could be an inefficient, very slow process. In the meantime, we could figure out faster methods to tackle the problem technologically. For instance : 1) Identify some… Continue Reading

I’d always read that the inner planets of our solar system once had thick atmospheres like the outer planets but they were driven off by the sun early in their development. Now I read about super gas-giant planets that orbit… Continue Reading
Space based solar power? http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20070411/s… ok umm, it sounds great and all but, how exactly does one transport usable energy from orbit, through the atmosphere, to the surface? Mocrowave radiation? no definitely doesn’t sound too efficient, or safe…
