Why don't birds fly to the moon?

OMFG the higher you get the more stronger gravity becomes + the higher you go the less oxygen there is to breath.

COMMON LOGIC

Their little space helmets keep falling off.

Let’s see now. If da widdle birdie flapped its wings with sufficient continuous force to propel him/her through space at 50 mph, it would take …hmmmm

Distance of Earth to moon: 238,000 miles (average distance)

Hours needed to traverse that distance at a wing-breaking 50 mph: 4,760 hours ( 238,000 miles divided by 50 miles/hour equals 4,760 hours).

Number of days to reach the moon: 198 days (4,760 hours divided by 24 hours/day equals 198 days).

Forget the limitations imposed by gravity;
Forget about escape velocity;
Forget about the lack of oxygen.
These concepts, believe it or not, are above the intellectual capacity of a few (????) unenlightened members of our society .

It’s all about the food. Every fridge-raiding, buffet loving, chip dipping, wide butt couch potato on the planet knows that a bird can’t go 198 days with no food or water; hell, these finger lickers can’t go 4 hours without a 4,000 calorie snack!!! Even those more slender members of our fast-food society can comprehend the nutritional needs of other life forms. They certainly understand that a bird cannot endure 198 days without food or water, especially when it is burning calories at an enormous rate while feverously flapping its wings the entire time.

And when the exhausted bird finally lands on the moon, what in the hell is it supposed to eat? Damn, that would take another 198 days for a return trip to the more hospitable Earth. Birds can’t fly to the moon because of the food, and they don’t even try because, apparently, they are smarter than some humans.

I hear that there are restaurants on the moon. The food is great, but no atmosphere.

5--No worms on the moon

4--no gravity means bird doodoo follows you

3--The moon has no trees so no nesting

2--Mean space alien kids with slingshots

1--In Space, no one can hear you chirp

Someone actually asked this question!?? :O

1. There is no atmosphere in space. A biological organism would simply explode via the oxygen leaving every cell in its body.

2. There is no oxygen in the first place to even let the bird get that far. They would simply pass out and fall to the ground looong before they leave the atmosphere.

3. And they wouldnt even get a chance to live out the step two scenario. At 40,000ft the temperature is -55 C. Even for our feathered friends.. thats 1/3 as cold as liquid nitrogen.


4. Their not that fucking stupid. They are birds.. yet they know better then the op. Shame on you!!

NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN,

NOT AGAIN I TELLS YA!!

I have answered this before. I will answer again. I have nothing better to do.

From my understanding most birds do not fly at night so they are sleeping when the moon is out.

Maybe birds do not know there is a moon.

If they could get out of the atmosphere they would explode due to space vaccum and there is no food or water for them.

I don't know what you mean. This is the first time I have posted this particular thread.




... but birds can fly!?

Perhaps they cannot escape earths gravity...cant go to high. Plus not to mention atmospheric conditions to a certain point(height...getting closer and closer to space and higher than the clouds...heh). Plus how would they fare in space weather and atmosphere. That is a whole other story.

oxygen doesnt play a factor at all does it.

OMFG the higher you get the more stronger gravity becomes + the higher you go the less oxygen there is to breath.

COMMON LOGIC

COMMON LOGIC????

Gravity does not get "more stronger" the higher you get

because they hate the moon, thay are, in fact, lunaphobic
