Looking Back To Space
From Zoe 5 on The Sky This Week, 2009 January 23 – 30
i am watching the launch of a kepler thats going into space and its looking for other earths. i wonder how fast it really is going when it gets into space?
From christopher P4 on The Sky This Week, 2009 January 23 – 30
when a shuttle goes into space would the speed of the shuttle be the same as its speed flying on earth?
Just a couple of comments from students who are looking back into space (or maybe they never stopped).
Unfortunately tonight’s launch of the space shuttle was scrubbed due to a hydrogen fuel leak, next earliest date for launch will be Sunday. SO how fast do these space craft go?
