Space exploration is a luxury. Luxuries are what you buy when you are doing well, and all necessities have been taken care of. Right now, the US (and much of the world) is doing very poorly indeed, economically. We need to focus on having enough food, housing, energy, etc. to go around. Only when we are doing well again can we afford space exploration.

Divide 4 by pi and you get 1.2732...

Absolute zero is -273.2 degrees

The number of days in a sidereal year, the time it takes for the earth to orbit around the sun when viewed from the point of fixed stars is 366 - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_year)

Moons orbit around Earth is 27.32 days
(When measured against fixed stars. Known as the ‘Sidereal Month’)

1/366 (the number of days in a sidereal year) = 0.002732

1/27.32 = 0.0366

Ignore the decimals and extra zeros if this helps..

The Mean Statistical Gestation Period of a Human Child: 273.2 days! (10 Sidereal Months)

Statistical Average Menstrual Cycle: 27.3 (2?) days!

oh, oh, oh, ( raises her hand in the air) I know the answer to this one....

Interesting. Do you have any sources?

Darwin's theory of evolution has two main driving forces – ''survival of the fittest" is perhaps the most widely known but there is another plank of evolution, which Darwin himself originally proposed, which can be abbreviated to ''survival of the fanciest".

The term that evolutionary biologists prefer to use is "sexual selection" and the idea is if a bird, such as a peacock for example, has an incongruously large tail that hampers flight, but yet is highly attractive to the opposite sex, then the genes of these attractive, cumbersomely tailed birds will be more likely to be transmitted to the next generation relative to their stubby-tailed peers. There is therefore an evolutionary pressure to be attractive to the opposite sex.

But evolutionary theory also suggests that it's not just being chosen that is vital to this process – but who does the choosing. Across species, females are generally found to be fussier than males, perhaps because they invest more biological resources in each offspring through processes such as gestation and lactation and therefore it's more costly to the female to make an evolutionary mistake over who she mates with.

While men are more likely to settle for anything with a pulse, evolutionary theory therefore makes a prediction that females are hyper-vigilant for signs that a potential mate really is worth mating with.

Women are, for example, interested in men who attact female rivals, point out Kevin Eva from McMaster University, Hamilton, and Timothy Wood of the Medical Council of Canada, Ottawa, as the background to an intriguing study which explains why the men most worth marrying appear to be the ones that are already married. Eva and Wood point out in a paper published recently in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that evolutionary theory predicts that if a female has deemed a male worthy of mating, this provides valuable information to other females about the value of that particular male, which does influence them in their evaluation of how desirable he is. In other words perhaps all the good men are not so much actually taken but, rather, the taken men are perceived as being good.

..and I'm also a bit confused as to what really is a question... :)

You can hold whatever opinion you care to, this is getting off topic, if you want a debate go to the religion thread.

I condemn the women who falsely accuse men of raping them, I really think that it's almost as heinous a crime as rape itself. Not only is the woman who does this ruining the life of the man she's accusing, but she's making it harder for the women who have actually been raped to have thier justice.

I agree that some women, SOME, not by any means a large proportion, have falsely accused a man of rape, but this number is so so much less than the amount of women who are raped and don't report because the system is set up to not beleive them.

You will never get me to agree that rape shield laws are unconstitutional. Whether or not a woman has has sex once of a hundred times has no bearing on whether she consented to the one act that is before the court. That's like saying that a woman cannot get a conviction of rape against a husband because she consented so many times in the past.

It's also like saying that once a woman becomes a prostitute that she must have sex with every man who wants her. A prostitute has every right to deny sex as any other woman, even if a man has paid, she can say no and (I hope) hand his money back. What if he refuses to wear a condom, or what if he has sores on his genitals? you're saying that she has no right to say no? or just that she has no right to a fair trial for the man that rapes her?

But men stop making sweeping statements..

Ok, maybe not always, but often it is. I would much rather have a broken arm.

And I think the worst thing is that our society re-victimizes women who have been raped throughout the entire proceedure, the reporting process, the physical exams, the trials.

A person who gets mugged in an alley is never asked "why didn't you fight back? you must have been asking for it ..."

While a woman who doesn't fight to within an inch of her life is always questioned if she 'asked for it'.

Many times if a woman does not sustain serious physical trauma, the man is not convicted.

And in court a woman's entire sexual history is put out there for the world to judge (although we have rape shield laws here in canada, sneaky lawyers are always finding ways around them).

A woman who has slept around a bit will rarely find that her rapist is convicted, and heaven help the prostitutes who get raped.

I agree with fred about faith not being about logic, I would go further to say that faith is the very antithesis of logic.

Pyke, until you have experienced BOTH forms of abuse, you have no right to call me stupid and irresponsible. But you obviously haven't, so don't you freaking dare talk to me like that.

A girl I'm having a fight with elsewhere on this site is a perfect example. That's a total turnoff--a pretty girl who is vain or shallow. I'd rather date a nice girl with ordinary looks any day.

I do the same. I get plenty of IM's from random women I don't know. And 99% of the time, they're just there to talk dirty to me, or flash their boobies on the webcam.

Uh, no you can’t. Not really... Not unless it involves sodomy.

The OP and Pyke do not understand any of this. They only see the ‘end physical result’ and think that’s all that matters.

Or are narrisistic enough to think their past gives them the right to the same sort of trauma.

Sorry, but it doesn’t. Rape is VERY different from being beaten up.

Why? Because it’s not just about being demeaned, degraded, violated and overpowered (which you feel from being beaten) but the fact the most intimate act (involving the most intimate parts of the body) known to men is being forced on someone. It’s like comparing a clean bone break to a shattered bone. Physical abuse may be close to the demeaning, degrading, violating and overpowering, but it will never be more.

That is a fact. Case closed.

I really don't want to say it, but any guy who has a pic of a woman kissing him on the cheek,is just trying to prove that some woman, somewhere....likes him..... Great marketing tool, but pretty obvious......... Nice try.........

A violation of a person's body in any form should be considered a heinous act...

I will say, is that being raped means a violation of ones body, and as has been said before, a control over and not sexual act.

To say that anyone who is raped is just overpowered and taken isn't really considering the anger involved in the act.

and you are just as apt to end up beaten, in the hospital with stitches, broken bones, broken mind, because face it, the act is to demean you as a person, take your power away from you, and ultimately let you know who is the weaker one....

sounds a bit like being beaten up.

A true assault of the body in any form should be recognised equally

The point is here, when someone attempts to steal the essence of your spirit, your freedom, it is a crime....

But to say rape is a sugar coated event in order to make your point about being beat up is really saying something about you.. sounds like you have some indepth healing to accomplish and that truly you must feel raped and want the recognition of the hateful act committed against you.... I get it....
