How would your life be without sateillites?
Not very different. We lived - quite happily - for many many centuries without them. What they have done, mainly, is to speed up previously available processes - such as weather forecasting, communications, and scientific monitoring of the planet. You'd lose your GPS systems, but maps were fine for many people. You'd lose instant TV pics from the other side of the world, but would that matter too much? You'd lose the Hubble space telescope - and that's serious, but not a major impact on most people's lives.
Was it worth spending all that money to make the hubble telescope?
Absolutely - most people only tend to view the science aspect of HST, and not the commercial application advancements that have been made in it's long history. Some of those you're probably familiar with, but don't realize where the development of the technology came from:Lithium Ion Batteries - Li Ion battery technology was further funded by NASA's Goddard Space Center for the HST/ISS Pistol Grip Tool, used to service the Hubble and construct the International Space Station. Though the design is based on a standard cordless drill (Black & Decker was initially approached for a design, but declined) the power pack is a series of Li Ion cells. The PGT was one key program I was responsible for, and it was initially used in 1997 on the HST 2nd Servicing Mission. Though they still have the same problems we had back then (they tend to overheat occasionally in certain situations) they're still the rechargeable power cell of choice for the masses, and it's only been in the past few years that BD/DeWalt and other companies have started using them in their tools.Solid State Drives / Flash Drives - SSD's and Flash Drives are a direct result of a Hubble Telescope replacement unit called the Solid State Recorder. Replacing 2 mechanical reel-reel tape drives on HST Servicing Missions 2 and 3A, SSR technology has literally changed the way digital data is stored, eliminating the need for mechanical drives.Medical Scanning Technology - Much of the enhanced medical scanning technology you're familiar with (CRT's, MRI's, etc.) are directly related to Hubble Telescope imaging technology advancements.Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD's) - A direct result of Hubble Telescope imaging technology, CCD's are the electronic imaging core of every modern digital camera in use today, digital imaging devices used in medical and industrial applications, as well as satellite imaging.Composite Materials - There are many carbon and metal composite materials that were originally developed for NASA programs. All spacecraft are manufactured with lightweight composites, and the various materials have improved over the years. Everything from cars to planes have benefited from the technology.Infrared Technology - Everything from infrared thermometers to IR cameras owes its development to technology developed for astronomical research.There are some pics on my Supervisor bio page of the PGT and other HST systems, and the link below will direct you to the NASA Spinoff/Innovative Partnerships Program site.

What are some everyday things that NASA has invented?
NASA has issued over 6,300 patents in its history, about 1 in a 1,000 of all patents issued by the U.S. Patent Office since its creation in 1790. Some examples of direct spinoff technology from NASA programs are:1. Lithium Ion Batteries - Li Ion battery technology was further funded by NASA's Goddard Space Center for the HST/ISS Pistol Grip Tool, used to service the Hubble and construct the International Space Station. Though the design is based on a standard cordless drill (Black & Decker was initially approached for a design, but declined) the power pack is a series of Li Ion cells. The PGT was one key program I was responsible for, and it was initially used in 1997 on the HST 2nd Servicing Mission. Though they still have the same problems we had back then (they tend to overheat occasionally in certain situations) they're still the rechargeable power cell of choice for the masses, and it's only been in the past couple of years that BD/DeWalt and other companies have started using them in their tools.2. Solid State Drives / Flash Drives - SSD's and Flash Drives are a direct result of a Hubble Telescope replacement unit called the Solid State Recorder. Replacing 2 mechanical reel-reel tape drives on HST Servicing Missions 2 and 3A, SSR technology has literally changed the way digital data is stored, eliminating the need for mechanical drives.3. Medical Scanning Technology - Much of the enhanced medical scanning technology you're familiar with (CRT's, MRI's, etc.) are directly related to Hubble Telescope imaging technology.4. Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD's) - A direct result of Hubble Telescope imaging technology, CCD's are the electronic imaging core of every modern digital camera in use today, digital imaging devices used in medical and industrial applications, as well as satellite imaging.5. Scratch-Resistant / UV Lenses - If you've ever worn eyeglasses or bought a pair of sunglasses with scratch-resistant coating, or sunglasses with UV protection, they're a direct spinoff of technology developed for the Astronauts' sun shield on their helmets.6. Computer Microprocessors / Software - Bill Gates and Intel didn't invent operating systems and computers - they just used existing technology from the Space Program for their benefit, and the rest of the us.7. Tempurpedic Mattresses/Pillows - Tempurpedic material (the brand is the only licensed NASA technology - all others are similar but not as effective) is a direct result of material developed for Astronaut crew chairs aboard the Space Shuttle.8. Composite Materials - There are many carbon and metal composite materials that were originally developed for NASA programs. All spacecraft are manufactured with lightweight composites, and the various materials have improved over the years. Everything from cars to planes have benefited from the technology.9. Microlasers - A spinoff of Optical Data Transfer technology developed for long-range communication in space.10. Infrared Technology - Everything from infrared thermometers to IR cameras owes its development to technology developed for astronomical research.NASA is also responsible for Research and Development of military aerospace programs, and much technology developed from those programs finds its way into various forms of public use.In addition to the basic technological benefits to society, products derived from the Space Program are generally smaller and more rugged, since weight and durability are paramount when designing and developing systems for use in Earth orbital environments (cold and hot), and the extreme cold of deep space.The list goes on - there are literally thousands of technology spinoffs that are improving the lives of the average person, though few realize that it comes from NASA sponsored technology. The old saying that "Necessity is the Mother of all Invention" holds true in this case - without the desire for exploring the unknown, we would have no reason to develop technologies to further help us find answers, and as a result would be stagnant as far as technology goes.There are some pics on my Supervisor bio page of the PGT and other HST systems, and the link below will direct you to the NASA Spinoff/Innovative Partnerships Program site.
What happend on the 1st Apollo mission?
it was manned by astronauts but it only circled the moon and took pics. they didn't land cuz back then they didn't have the technolagy yet
What isa aenormus telescope floating in space that sends pics back to earth called in general?
Hubble space telescope and international space station!
How are telescopes used in the world?
they can look beyond our planet and into our solar system some like the hubble telescope can take pictures of universes and send pics back to earth pics= pictures
Are there other space telescopes besides the Hubble?
There are quite a few telescopes in space right now like the Hubble space telescope, Chandra X-Ray observatory, Spitzer space telescope, FERMI space telescope, the Herchel observatory, WISE telescope and the James Webb space telescope will soon be launched in 2014.
When was the second mission to refurbish the hubble telescope?
February 1997 aboard Space Shuttle Discovery, an early morning launch from KSC at around 5am that was spectacular. If you look at my Supervisor bio page you can see some pics from that mission, as I worked on several of the new and replacement HST units and Astronaut tools.
What does the hubble space telescope look at?
The main purpose was to collect pictures, as it was, and is, a very high-tech and high-quality telescope. It was constantly take billions of pictures throughout each day, and send them back to NASA.
Why are pictures from a hubble space telescope clearer and brighter?
Because the Hubble Space Telescope was designed for periodic servicing, the items to be replaced are easily accessible. Ranging in size from a shoebox to a telephone booth, most of these items can be removed or installed using special wrenches and power tools.

How big a rocket would it take to launch a camera capable of photographing the moon surface in High Definition and sending those pics back to earth with nothing else on the rocket?
That's not a very demanding mission at all. The toughest part is just physically getting to the moon, although that capability is pretty well developed by now. And compared to the many probes that have been sent to rendezvous with other planets, the guidance required to meet the moon is now almost trivial. The Hubble Space Telescope has been operating in space for decades now with what amounts to a really super-duper High-Def camera, and doing a fine job sending those pics back to earth. If you want pics of the moon's far side, then you'd need a system to take pics when it's around the back, hold onto them for a while, and then transmit them to us when the vehicle comes out from behind and we can see it again. But none of this is exactly, ahh, "rocket science". If that's all you want it to do, then the payload requirement is really quite modest. Concerning control from earth, again, we've been remotely controlling the Hubble for decades, and the Mars rovers for years. I suspect that you and I are both completely out of touch, and that the moon has already been completely mapped with super high resolution.
Is moco space safe?
No everyone AskS to trade pics", sext ask for the number.,. And dirty talk it is absolutely not safe
HOW do you remove pics of MySpace with mobile phone?
