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!! What I find totally weird is that I'm almost to the end of the first page and so far not a single person has mentioned that without air, their wings would not be able to generate lift. Wow. |

Birdbrain User ID: 28997058 United States 12/03/2012 12:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because they have to eat a lot. That's why they fly from tree to tree. And on the way to the moon there is no place for them to stop to rest, and more importantly to eat. Some birds eat worms and seeds on the ground and some eat insects and some eat fish. If you want birds to fly to the moon you need insects to fly to the moon so the birds have something to eat, but I don't know if they can eat while flying or have to catch insects when they are asleep. Obviously the ones who catch fish can catch them moving, but water is different than the atmosphere and fish eating birds are different than insect eating birds. Their mouths are for scooping instead of pecking. If you could design like a cage that the bird could carry with a feeder and a perch, he could fly, then coast and perch and eat, then fly some more and possibly reach the moon, but then he would be trapped in a cage and if there were a latch to let him out he might not be good for the moon's ecosystem. |

[link to en.wikipedia.org] -Ever hear of Gravity? -Ever hear of SPACE? Or, how about that idea that no living thing can survive in a region where there's no heat, or oxygen. -You see...the ATMOSPHERE is what traps heat inside the earth from the sun...without it, WE ALL DIE. So, either you're about 4 years old, or you are INCREDIBLY moronic. There truly can be no argument outside of those possibilities that I just gave. In fact, my 12 year old student could have answered this question quite elegantly in about 20 seconds, which lets me know that your ability for logic, reason, and understanding is utterly BENEATH that level. It amazes me that GLP didn't erase this incredibly shameful thread... |

But for some reason we chose too. The birds are here to eat the bugs,snakes and shit on freshly washed luxury cars. Who knows maybe at night time they transform into humans and realize being a bird is allot better sometimes. |

You are obviously helplessly and HOPELESSLY brain-dead. There are literally people in COMAS that have more brain activity. Look up escape velocity. And after you LEARN about what escape velocity is, don't clutter up GLP with philosophical nonsense that can easily be proven or disproven with a little studying and research. |
