We cannot see the flags on the Moon with Earthbound telescopes, but we know they are still standing tall thanks to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The flag support bar latch failed on the Apollo 12 flag pole and remains forever collapsed on Oceanus Procellarum.

Men love women who are thoughtful, caring, loving, and kind. A woman who does little things for her man for no other reason other than that she loves him. A woman who makes him smile back whenever she smiles at him. A woman who radiates love and warmth from her heart.

Astronauts communicate with each other in space when they are spacewalking through the use of radio waves. Radio wave signal are sent to their headsets which then translates the signal into the form of sound .

Peak vertical forces will be reduced by as much as 50%, and although ground contact time will remain constant with locomotion in 1 g, stride length and stride time will increase. During running on Mars airborne time will increase by approximately 80% in comparison to running on the Earth.

The US placed its flag on the moon more than 50 years ago and intends to do it again on the red planet. “The United States will be the first nation to plant our beautiful American flag on planet Mars.

While taking off a helmet in space would not cause the cinematic moment featured in so many sci-fi movies, it would force all the air out of your lungs, causing you to fall unconscious in about 15 seconds as your brain and other organs go into hibernation from lack of oxygen, and then eventually die from suffocation .

They're kind of sweet on each other so they're holding hands. Awwwww. ... Another way to think is to consider two space walking astronauts.

Astronauts were considered national heroes, and the flag of the United States has been a common symbol used in all aspects of the manned space program. NASA's spacecraft and launch vehicles have always been decorated with flags.

One of the exercises that has become a normal part of every astronaut's routine is running on a treadmill, something many of us on Earth can relate to! In fact, roughly an hour of their 2.5-hour exercise regimen is spent on the treadmill. There are currently two treadmills on the International Space Station (ISS)

A planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.

Mars is sometimes called the Red Planet. It's red because of rusty iron in the ground. Like Earth, Mars has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons, and weather. It has a very thin atmosphere made of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon.
