One prominent mantra with which the development of the moon program was sold to the public was the vital necessity of scientific research and discovery. And ... face it ... you get more good scientific information when an actual scientist looks at it than you do when ordinary people like you and me look at it.
Landing on the moon represented a huge advancement in technology for humans and was seen as milestone in technological advancement and space exploration.
The moon's average distance from earth during the course of one complete orbital revolution (a month) is 384,401,000meters (rounded).
I don't think that "invented" is the proper term for space exploration. "Led" would be more suitable. Over the past century many inventors from different countries experimented with balloons and small rockets. I expect that most had visions of space exploration in mind. In October of 1957, the Soviet Union was the first to put a satellite (sputnik) in earth orbit. Throughout the 1960s, America and the Soviet Union tried to escape the earth's gravity and land on the moon. On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first man to step out of his American spacecraft onto the surface of the moon. The Soviets had technically landed on the moon previously when one of their spacecraft crashed into the moon. That is not generally considered the first moon landing.NO ONE CARES ABOUT THAT,WE WANNA KNOW FACTS WHY WE SHOULD GO INTO SPACE.

The question "how much" is not sufficiently precise to be correctly answered. If you mean "How much mass does the moon have?", then the answer is 7.3477 x 1022 kg. If you mean "How large is the moon?", then the answer is 1737.10 km mean radius. If you mean "How much is the moon worth", the the answer is indeterminate because, by international treaty, the moon is the property of no one person or country, and that it belongs to all of us. On the other hand, the value of the moon in terms of scientific exploration and as a possible launch point for further exploration, perhaps of Mars, is incalculable.
Jacques Cartiers goals were to find a route to the Pacific thorough North America (a Northwest passage) but he did not find one. It was a search for the Northern Passage.
find gold, conquer new land, and create trade routes to china. he accomplished one of these (conquering new land)
One of his goal were to send an American safely to the moon and he achieved this goal.
The Earth has one natural satellite, which we known as our moon. There are also many man-made satellites orbiting the Earth at any given time, a result of the last few decades of space exploration and the development of technology. The moon itself has no satellites of its own.
President John Kennedy never did send any one to the moon, as he was assassinated in 1963, men walked on the moon in 1969.But he set the goal for the U.s.A.

No. The earth has one natural satellite ... the moon ... and any number of other satellites whose primary purpose is not scientific (e.g. communication satellites).
Landing on the moon represented a huge advancement in technology for humans and was seen as milestone in technological advancement and space exploration.
This could be a tough one, but the BIGGEST recent one would have to be the 'water on the moon' test. NASA crashed a probe (on purpose) to see if there is water on the moon. The data's come back, but we still don't know!
The distance to the moon is routinely measured using the retro reflectors that were left on the moon by Apollo astronauts in 1969 and the early 1970s.
