Yo NASA, I got a few softball questions for you!!

:ohlook:

Solar flares cause Northern lights and radio interference on earth. How do solar flares affect astronauts in space? Does it knock out their radio equipment?


Yes they do.

Those are the weirdest questions about softball I've ever seen.

The earth spins at ~1000 mph on its axis. Then it orbits the sun at ~67,000 mph. The moon orbits Earth at ~2,200 mph. An object in motion such as a lunar module remains in motion until it is acted on by an external force. For example, if you throw a kick ball out of a moving car it will "follow" the eyesight of the passenger until it hits the ground. Then it takes a massive bounce backwards. How does the landing module not bounce off the surface of the moon?

A ball thrown out a window has no means to decelerate other than to impact the ground, NASA used these things called ROCKET ENGINES to land on the moon

Is the earth subject to the Magnus Effect, i.e. backspin? If outer space is not a true vacuum, but just a very low pressure, low density area, can the orbit path of the earth be affected by its spin?

The orbit path of the Earth is more affected by the Sun

Do spaceships use gyroscopes for navigation? Do gyroscopes work in outer space?

Yes or else we wouldn't use them...DUH!!!

If there is no atmospheric pressure, wouldn't the spacecraft stall? The Free Expansion of the gas would mean no work is being done. In other words, if there is not an equal and opposite push back from air pressure, how is the space craft propelled forward?

Newton's first law of Physics...Look it up

Jet fuel needs oxygen to burn. How does a spacecraft carry enough oxygen to burn the fuel?

One would think that was the plan but ROCKETS don't use jet fuel they use ROCKET fuel and Oxygen...

The earth spins around the sun and the moon orbits around the earth. Plotting the moon's orbit will look like a "curly-Q." Does the orbit of the moon increase in velocity to catch up to the earth as the earth rotates around the sun?

Yes but it also slows down as well when the pull of other planets and the sun affect it, to maintain the orbit we all know and love...

Where is the moon positioned relative to the earth upon lunar landings?

Facing the earth of course..

How does the spacecraft withstand both the extreme heat of escaping the earth's atmosphere and re-entering? If meteors burn up, how can a spacecraft enter earth? A piece of metal in space that endures direct sunlight can get as hot as 260C , how does it cool down? Space outside of sunlight is very cold, -270C. What materials and fuel can withstand a 500+C swing in temperature?

Meteors don't slow down, that's why they burn up. Spacecraft are capable of a controlled descent through the atmosphere at temperatures they are specifically designed to withstand

People can't feel Earth's rotation or spin because we're all moving with it, at the same constant speed. How does a spacecraft gain enough speed upon re-entry to the earth's atmosphere to not be flung in the direction of rotation?

It doesn't gain speed, it slows down to re-entry...

How do astronauts safely pass through the Van Allan radiation belts without a lethal dose of radiation? How is the craft instrumentation affected?

Shielding

Solar flares cause Northern lights and radio interference on earth. How do solar flares affect astronauts in space? Does it knock out their radio equipment?

No... see previous answer

Do spacecraft and satellites have to account for Lagrangian points?

Yes...

Why aren't the pictures of moon from space more clear and detailed? Couldn't we see every inch of the moon with pictures taken in space from the International Space Station?

Buy a bigger telescopics lens.... something along the lines of 1000 times bigger than the Hubble and place it in orbit......

Americans….."Proud to be stupid."

What a tard , right???

Yea, what a jerk the OP is!!! Asking questions about science! No one should question NASA, ever, about anything.
Haha Tard. haha Tard. Hahaha...Tard. Tard. hahah. Tard. Tard, What a tard , right???

It rotates 360 degrees every 23h56m4s.

Then I would see sunrise every day in the year at the same time. Not 8 or more hours apart through the year. Because the light of the sun would hit the point where i stand exactly 11h28m2s after it sat down the day before. But in Winter it sats down 4 hours too 'early' and in summer 4 hours too 'late'.
Tell me how there can be 16 hours of sunshine (and more) in a 11h28m2s sunshine intervall?

Space does not have a temperature.
Temperature is a property of matter.

Because you live in Germany, not on the equator.

Earth is tilted, y'know.

Google the reason for the seasons.

BTW, I'm pretty sure this was covered in your school curriculum.
Elementary school, that is.

What do you mean? These are original questions. Any resemblance to another thread is coincidental.

The tilt has absolutely nothing to do with the point i made. A tilted axis has no imapact of the fact that the sunshine duration cant exceed 11h28m2s. Just because you have a reason for seasons doesnt explain this fact.

Space has a temperature, it is 2.7 K or around -270 c.

That is the temperature of the CBR, not of space.

So you're an idiot who couldn't stay awake in school.

Earth's terminator is only parallel with its axis on the equinoxes.

I spent a glorious year at Cape Dyer, NWT, Canada...
We had almost total darkness in December, the sun not quite peeking above the horizon, In June, the Sun would just hit the horizon before rising again...
It all due to the tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation...
