will NASA send a wolf to moon?

Ummmmm...? Maybe, maybe they will if all the chimps + humans die?

2, exactly. They have been hit by astronaut Alan Shepard on Apollo 14, and they have NOT floated away - the gravity on the moon is six times less than Earth's, not inexistant. Look for the quote from Shepard in the link:

No.  Even the Hubble Space Telescope cannot resolve objects as small as the Lunar Module or the Saturn IVB booster that were crashed on the the moon for seismic experiments.  The HST can resolve objects as small as 0.05 arcseconds.  To see the Lunar Module, it would have to resolve objects as small as 0.0005 arcseconds.  In other words, you'd need a telescope 100 times better than the HST and you'd need it to be in space.\n\nAnd just for the hoax lovers ...\n\n1) Twelve 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon.\n\nApollo 11: Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin\nApollo 12: Pete Conrad & Alan Bean\nApollo 13: << failed to land on the moon >>\nApollo 14: Alan Shepard & Edgar (Ed) Mitchell\nApollo 15: David Scott & James Irwin\nApollo 16: John Young & Charles Duke\nApollo 17: Eugene (Gene) Cernan & Harrison Schmidt\n\n\n2) Why haven't we been back?  \n\na) American astronauts visited the moon on six occasions.\n\nb) The "moon race" was an extension of the cold war. 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.  Their existence was confirmed in *1958* by the Explorer I satellite launched by the USA. \n\nThe radiation in the Van Allen radiation belts is not particularly strong.  You would have to hang out there for a week or so in order to get radiation sickness.  And, because the radiation is not particularly strong, a few millimeters of metal is all that is required for protection.  "An object satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminum will receive about 2500 rem (25 Sv) per *year*."\n\n"In practice, Apollo astronauts who travelled to the moon spent very little time in the belts and received a harmless dose. [6]. Nevertheless NASA deliberately timed Apollo launches, and used lunar transfer orbits that only skirted the edge of the belt over the equator to minimise the radiation."  When the astronauts returned to Earth, their dosimeters showed that they had received about as much radiation as a couple of medical X-rays.\n\n\n4) The U.S. government scammed everyone?  \n\nIn 1972, there was a politically motivated burglary of a hotel room in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. There were only about six or eight people who knew about it. However, those people, including Richard M. Nixon, the President of the United States, failed to keep that burglary a secret. It exploded into a scandal that drove the President and a number of others from office.\n\nIf six or eight people couldn't keep a hotel room burglary a secret, then how could literally thousands of people could have kept their mouths shut about six faked moon landings? 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 wel

Actually, no, we haven't done it since the original six landings.  The last one was Apollo 17 in 1972, and since then, we haven't sent a manned mission back to the moon.

Having their own moon might affect it...

Virgin Galactic is offering this "as soon as 2008" for the low price of 100 million USD.  Realistically, it will probably take more than a few years to ramp up tourist missions to the moon, especially if no one is signing up...

it does not. weather has nothing to do with the moon. especally last nights Beaver moon

Not soon enough.\nSince there is no Super-power race for space dominance, it comes down to "will it make a profit".  So, when some industry or company decides they can make a few million bucks, it'll happen.  Until then, don't go looking for tickets for the moon shuttle.

They aren't. My brother works at the Keck telescope in Hawai'i, which is run by NASA, and they looked at the moon recently to get some information about possible landing sites for the new missions. But there's not much call to look at the moon any more, since we can get much better pictures from sending spaceprobes there.

Fast cars and submersible boats?  Man on the moon?\n\nShoot next your gonna tell me the Cold War is over and the Empire State Building is the tallest building in New York!?!\n\nWe will land on the moon again.  It will house launching and repair facilities for more aggressive space travel.  Its unique gravity and lack of atmosphere will also make it a more viable environment for Medical Research.  \n\nThe Dark Side will be developed into a state of the art incarceration facility housing Earths worst criminals and those that believe our entire life is one hoax after another.\n\nCan't wait.

They are American, and have been on the moon.

Given enough time, sure.  What will motivate them to do it?  Probably, "ooh, do you know what would be cool", or "hey, Disney will pay us 4 billion dollars to make a fire breathing dragon".  So boredom or greed.  Either way, a genetically engineered dragon in the future is not impossible.  \n\nI am not sure how much work would be needed and of course the dragon will only have the attributes that physics and biology can.  Such as, a Godzilla size creature is more than likely impossible.  Far too large, there is a lot of physics explaining why something that large just cannot live.  The size of the dragon vs. the ability to fly.  If they make it really large then it will probably not be able to fly, but a tiny flying dragon is not too impressive.  The firebreathing will probably not be that great either.  It will more than likely not be a napalm type explosion, but more of a methane type poof.\n\nAlso, for other creatures.  It would probably be impossible to engineer a werewolf.  The biology to change a man to wolf from just the moonlight is not there.  A medusa can be made but she would not be able to turn people to stone with her glare, just hang around with snakes for hair.  Vampires might be a little easier, a creature that drinks blood and is killed by exposure to direct sunlight.  However, that is pretty much the limits, no changing to bats or being invulnerable to all attacks except for wooden stakes and sunlight.  Also, it would not be able to convert others to vampirism thru a bite.  Well, more than likely not.  A retrovirus to change the recepients DNA might happen, but that would probably just kill the victem and not change them.\n\nSo I believe it will be possible within the limits of science to see creatures with traits resembling aspects of mythological creatures in the next few centuries.

It depends on what you are sending.  The Apollo missions were the last set of *manned* missions to the moon, and here is the travel time:\nLaunched: 16 July 1969 UT 13:32:00 (09:32:00 a.m. EDT)<br />\nLanded on Moon: 20 July 1969 UT 20:17:40 (04:17:40 p.m. EDT)\nIt took about 4 days to get there.  Rocket technology has not change too much since then so you can expect that getting people to the moon at this point would take about the same amount of time.\nIf you are dealing with a non-human payload, you may be able to cut down time, both because it is likely lighter, and because you don't need to worry as much about damaging G-forces.\nI've included a link that has the history of all missions to the moon, manned and unmanned.
