Russia to build a mine on the moon

[cecilia]

Space flight maybe be simpler than flight on Earth but that lunar module still had to contend with lunar gravity, landing and launching trajectories and docking, varying landing and launching weights and filming for the camera left on the moon. I don't understand how they managed such a feat 30yrs ago on the processing power of a calculator.

because this "feat" wasn't done using a calculator. it was done using many talented human minds working at full capacity. THAT'S why it was and still is the most amazing thing homo sapians have ever done.

Alas, I still don't believe man has landed on the moon.

so how did all that "junk" get up there???

that's GOT to be one of the funniest comments ever made.
here: Hubble colors is a nice simple explaination of how they get Hubble images.
unless, like bush, you really can't read.

i'm giving a test at the end of the week  :-)
