"As of 2004, in-flight accidents had killed 18 astronauts, training accidents had claimed at least 11 astronauts and launchpad accidents had killed at least 70 ground crew."

People die at a certain level of gravity. The gravity of a black hole would way exceed this level. a person would DIE if they tried to land on JUPITER, the gravity would be so much that they wouldn't be able to move to expand they're chests to breath, they'd be so heavy.

All we have to do is survive long enough to expand into space. I think if we did that, it would be hard for anything to stamp out all the pockets of humans around. Especially if we could figure out how to not die as individuals.

The current International Space Station commander, Sergei Krikalev, has set a new record for the most cumulative time in space - logging a total of 748 days in orbit on Tuesday. His repeated exposure to the physical and psychological stresses of long-duration spaceflight ranks him among the most resilient space-farers in history.\n\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7852

Well, you need to contact NASA to see if they have any clue.  It's definitely more than my small brain can count and my wide eyes can see.  \nAccording to NASA's website "there have been about 4000 launches (some with multiple payloads) and my guess is that several hundred of the satellites involved are still active. Nine individual countries have launched satellites (USA, Russia, Japan, China, France, India, Israel, Australia, UK) as well as international consortia (ESA, the European Space Agency, being the most important of those). A large number of countries have enough money and could easily acquire the technology to launch satellites, but choose for economy and convenience to either have another country launch their payloads or to participate in the space projects of other nations."

The Astronauts were exposed to the radiation not only \nas a consequence of pasing through the Van Allen Belt \nbut also being exposed to the radiation from the Sun.\nThe amount of radiation would have certainly been lethal had they spent more time in space than they did.\nBut for the up to eight days the Astronauts spent\nout of the protective cocoon of Earth's natural \nradiation shield the astronauts were not in any real danger. On the other hand,the danger of a sudden major solar flare-up resulting in radiation exposure so intense to have killed the astronauts in space was  always a possibility.

It was mostly about national prestige. We got there first and achieved our primary objective. There was some good science: surveys, measurements, sample collection. But it was mostly about being there first. Once we achieved our primary objective, there was no political will to go back. There still isn't.  Perhaps, if we discover He3 or something else valuable, there will be.\n\nc) I used to travel to Crested Butte, Colorado every year to ski. Because I don't go anymore, does it mean that I never went?\n\n\n3) What about the Van Allen radiation belts?  Wouldn't it have killed the astronauts?\n\nThe existence of the Van Allen radiation belts postulated in the 1940s by Nicholas Christofilos.

Not just one moon landing, but six of them!\n\n\n5) What about the USSR?  \n\nEven if NASA and other government agencies could have faked the six moon landings well enough to fool the general public, they could NOT have fooled the space agency or military intelligence types in the USSR. The Soviets were just dying to beat us. If the landings were faked, the Soviets would have re-engineered their N-1 booster and landed on the moon just to prove what liars Americans are. Why didn't they? Because the landings were real and the Soviets knew it.\n\n\n6) Why does the flag shake?  Where are the stars?  Who took the video of Neil Armstrong? \n\nTake a look at the first two websites listed below.  They deal well with all of the technical questions.\n\n\n7) Finally, please tell us what you would accept as definitive evidence that the six moon landings were real. Is there anything?

Did you visit www.nasa.gov?\nThere are billions of constalation, but we can't know for sure cause some are just too far...

Hundreds of thousands of people would have died were it not for the medical technology NASA helped develop for the space program not to mention all of the research done to miniaturize electronics to keep weight down on the capsules.Would you rather have an Ipod the size of a briefcase that still used vacuum tubes.

Space exploration is the physical exploration of outer space. The politics, science, and engineering behind space flight all fall under the auspices of space exploration. There are many rationales behind space exploration; among the most common are ones focusing on scientific research or the future survival of humanity. This endeavour has been to some degree a dream and goal of humanity for the past several centuries, but it was not until the development of large liquid-fueled rocket engines during the early 20th century that it really began to be seriously developed.\n\nThe first major milestone of this endeavour was the launch of the USSR's Sputnik 1 on October 5, 1957, the first man-made object to orbit the Earth. After this event, the USA declared itself to be in a space race with the Soviet Union. Major achievements of the first era of space exploration (which lasted until 1969) were putting the first man in space, (Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1) on April 12, 1961 (again by the USSR), the first spacewalk (by Alexei Leonov, also a Soviet cosmonaut) in 1965, and the first Moon landing by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin aboard Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969 (by the USA). The next notable achivement in space was the launch of first space station, Salyut 1, from the USSR. After the first 20 years of exploration, focus began shifting from one-off flights to renewable hardware, such as the Space Shuttle, and from competition to cooperation as on the International Space Station. Recently, private interests have begun pushing space tourism, while larger government programs have been advocating a return to the Moon and possibly missions to Mars in the near future.
