If someone wanted to make a small observatory, they would need an extreme amount of space. Someone who wanted to build an observatory, either on top of a hill or on flat land, would need thousands of square feet and a big open area.

Why is the Chandra X-ray observatory in space?
Because X-Rays do not penetrate the earth's surface. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory would be completely useless on the ground because it detects X-Rays. Therefore, it must be in space to detect the rays.
What advantages would you have if you built an observatory on the lunar surface?
If you built an observatory on the lunar surface, there would be no atmosphere to battle in viewing what you needed to see. Therefore, as far as an observatory goes, one could see more due to the fact that the sky would be much more clear from the moon since it has no atmosphere than that of Earth, which does.
What do you call a building where you look at stars at?
well, it would usually be an observatory.....
Why are oxygen tanks and space suits needed to explore in space?
Oxygen tanks and space suits are needed for space exploration because there is no air in space and anyone there without suitable coverings and sources of oxygen would quickly die.
Is the compton gamma ray observatory manned or unmanned?
The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) is a artificial satellite that NASA launched into Earth orbit aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in 1991. The CGRO can be compared to the Hubble Space Telescope and other such space observatories such as the Chandra X-ray observatory. Therefor, no the observatory is not manned but rather controlled by ground personnel. After loosing one of its gyroscopes (used to maintain altitude and orientation) NASA decided that it would be in the best interest for the inhabitants of planet Earth (for safety reasons) to de-orbit the CGRO. On the 4th of June 2000, the CGRO burned up over the Pacific Ocean in a controlled reentry procedure.
If you wrote as small as a quark how much space would you need to write a gogolplex?

What would be needed in order to make a dragstrip?
concrete... and space... and machines to do the work.
Why is wind power not used to generate electricity needed for large cities?
Simply because of the space that would be needed for the wind-turbines ! The amount of power produced by a single wind turbine is relatively small. In order to power a large city, you would need thousands of turbines - which would occupy huge swathes of land !
Do four person rooms in a tent have curtains?
No. Curtains in a tent aren't needed and would take up needed space.
What is the most famouse earth-orbiting satellite?

What would happen if someone did not have small intestine?
they would not get the nutrients they needed, so they would obviously die...
