Moon exploration
Posted: Fri May 16, 2008 7:57 pm1. What are the implications of the discovery of water on the Moon?
The implications of this find are from great transcendence because the scientific calculate that with this water will be able to build permanent colonies of 2000 colonizers during a century, presupposing that each person consumes daily 370 liters of water for covering the total of their needs.
2. Many cultures have stories and myths about the Moon and Taoist Chinese Myth is this:
P'an Ku created the universe out of the primordial chaos. P'an Ku was the offspring of yin and yang, the dual powers of nature. He assisted in his great labors by the unicorn, the phoenix, the tortoise, and the dragon. P'an Ku spent 18,000 years creating the sun, the moon, the stars, the heavens, and the earth. He put all things in the lower world in order, but neglected to set the sun and moon on proper courses through the sky. So, the sun and moon went down into the Han Sea and left the world in darkness. The Terrestrial Emperor sent an officer, Terrestrial Time, to order the Sun and Moon to move through the heavens and create day and night. They refused. The situation required the divine intervention of Buddha. At Buddha's direction, P'an Ku wrote the character for "sun" on his left hand and the character for "moon" on his right. He went to the Han Sea. He raised his right hand and called the Moon, then raised his left hand and called the Sun. He repeated a charm se ven times. The Sun and Moon rose into the sky, and divided day and night.
3. The Apollo 11 mission was the first to put men on the Moon. What can you find out about the other missions that sent men to the Moon?
Some missions in the seventy's were:
Apollo 12 - Pete Conrad and Alan Bean
Apollo 14 - Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell
Apollo 15 - David Scott and James Irwin
Apollo 16 - John W. Young and Charles Duke
Apollo 17 – Cernan and Harrison Schmitt
4. How has information about the Moon been of use here on Earth?
I think that the information about our satellite has been used for investigate if terrestrial colonies could exist in the Moon.
