Cos they are plain stereotyped dumb. If u can get to those places to live, do u think u will b back here talking like some stupid moron?? No right? So ask them to shut up and study cos they surely need some in their immature brain.

Today kids are not taught that Ceres was once a planet, before it got downgraded to the newly created category of asteroid in about 1850. So I suspect that in 100 years the whole Pluto thing will be forgotten in the same way.

Look at how many sattelites we put up... there is something wrong with your reasoning, you're ignoring a lot of the facts.  How is it more difficult now?  A civilian recently built and flew his own spacecraft into space 3 times successfully.  Hundreds of satellites are orbiting the earth as we speak.  How does it seem space travel is more difficult?  We have several astronauts in a spacestation right now... Civilians have purchased tickets into space, the people on the space station have been relieve, replaced, etc multiple times... As far as the moon goes, there really isn't/wasn't any reason to go back, not a whole lot there if ya know what I mean ;)  They're working on mars projects continuously... just because a few landers and orbiters crash doesn't mean things are more difficult.  If you do some research you will find literally hundreds of crashes, mislaunches, explosions, and other quality errors; the old times make the number and degree of current mistakes seem almost trivial.  Science and technology have proven themselves time and time again when it comes to space, and it keeps getting better.

1.  I teach at a residential placement facility for at-risk youth.  It's fascinating and demanding, and the world is never the same two days in a row.  So I think I'd go from there.  A monologue...."Hey.  New here, huh?  Let me show you around.  This is what we call a home unit.  It's kinda like a dorm, but no girls.  and no kegs.  and no pizza.  Guess it's not like a dorm.  We live here.  Rooms are rooms.  C'mon.  we'll go see something off the chain.  This.  This is what makes this place....This is where life really happens.  This is where fraud gets lost.  This is where you get to be you.  Welcome to ..."\n\n2.  I think Harry will discover a deeper meaning to everything that has happened.  I don't believe Dumbledore will come back.  Harry has to discover that good can come from bad events.\n\n3.  What do I consider a date?  1066 (the Norman invasion)  :-)  Or a nice time without the kids.\n\n4. Pet peeve -- intolerance\n\n5.  I think the current age of 15-16 works well.  My daughters took it at that age, and I think it worked well.  Most upper teens are developing the maturity it takes to handle the responsibility.  The extra maturity they need only comes with experience.  Waiting until they're older doesn't mean they'll be any more mature. (That ought to tell you I'm an adult.)\n\n6.  Stupid as in knowing better but doing it anyway? -- I can't really think of any.  Stupid as in I think it's idiotic but they probably had a reason -- my 7th grade teacher making us line up to go to lunch.  Stupid as in having fun and cutting loose -- my high school jazz band director...a Wolfman Jack lookalike.  He was "too cool"\n\n7.  Yahoo answers, of course.  I also like to play word games.  Sometimes I get lost just following links (what we used to call "rabbit chasing" when it came to discussions)\n\n8.  a book -- I teach for a living, so it makes sense.  Some kids view me as a means to knowledge.  Others think I'm too old to be useful (yea!) and still others think I make a pretty decent door stop.\n\n9.  I have no idea, but aol music uses Real Player.\n\n10.  Due to the refraction and/or reflection of particular light waves when the sun is shining.  Otherwise, it would be black like it is at night.  By the way, the sky really is bluer in Texas.  :-)\n\nHope that was good enough.  Thanks for the questions.  They were fun.  I like wild goose chases sometimes.

They are going to try and explore the possibilities of living on Mars in the future due to the fact that they believe the Earth will eventually become unlivable due to the warming of the planet. It probably won't happen in our lifetime but Man will pollute the Earth, the air, and the water so much that we will not be able to survive. The hole in the ozone layer is becoming a major problem.

((Grandpaw  Aaron will answer this one, OK))\n\nLittle girl, In my day, we kids had to walk 12 miles through the snow, 8 feet deep, to go to school, even in da summer.  \nThere, we might find only one other person whom we thought was as smart as us. Usually, tho, we wuz taught to fear everone.\n\nToday, whatwith this Internetie thang, ya get more answers, and mabbe some smart answers at thet; but, are you better off?  \nI SAY NO, you don't know anything about me, or the other people what answers yer questions here, mabbe they make up stuff, and you'd believe it.  \n\nBetter off, if you go off and throwed yer dern cumputer into the trash, and read books.  \n\nThe world is too big, too scary for you, best to stay inside, best for you to jest cover up yer head wid yer covers, and pray its all over soon.

ill put myself back, sorry everyone\n\nyep, we won't replace any planets names and burning and banning books is wrong\n\nsorry\n\n----\nit might have cost you points here, but there might be some best answers in your future to make up for it

People like this "Mars" person have serious communications issues, and being functionally illiterate does not make it any easier to get along in the world. I would say to the Mars person that you are in no position to say anything unless you know how to say it in some form that other people can understand. It is obvious that Mars is trying to say something, but because the command of the English language is so poor it is almost impossible to ascertain exactly what it is. Mars needs to spend more time learning how to read and write in English.

Given even a paranoid conspiracy theorist's frame of mind, why would the military need to put a satellite in orbit around Mars?  We know it's a dead planet, so we can rule out the martians attacking us.  We can monitor chinese launches from earth, so there's no need to put a satellite there to tell us that someone put another satellite in orbit there.  The cost alone would be astronomical (pun intended), and the return would be nil.  I'm sure they'd rather buy another B1 bomber instead with the money.

I think if the astronauts know all this.. and are still willing to, they may as they please.. but in my opinion it's not worth it.. they should jsut keep sending satelite's up there and learn more information about mars and other information they want.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!  They are there to teach you, not show you the ropes on the birds and bees.  If you're in highschool, you don't know what you want, and if you're male, you're thinking with the wrong head.  While now it might seem like a bragging right, later on it will seem like the biggest screw up in your life.

No no no no no no... I think we are all part of an experiment gone wrong !!!  You know, abandoned by whoever started it.  We are like a culture dish allowed to .... germinate, or.. multiply, develop the bad way, out of control....   otherwise how can we explain what we do everyday on this planet... we kill our own fellow human beings for pleasure... for profit....  for petrol...  we torture and abuse OUR OWN children... Or perhaps the experimenter?) ran away in horror...  long ago !!!   We will never be visited by other intelligent beings from other galaxies... they will never find intellectual stimulation on this beautiful planet.. so they do a sort of tangent instead and move on...

Intrigue them... challenge their minds. Keep them learning and thinking. Ask each to write about what interests them, and perhaps use such as a basis for further lessons. NASA has awesome photo's and brief descriptions; history offers many heroes to inspire; art, its history, and giving them such a creative outlet may be a pleasant diversion.
