“You can see the Great Wall of China from the Moon. You can barely see anything from the moon. You can barely see the Great Wall from Earth’s orbit and the conditions have to be exact. There’s never a time where the Great Wall is the only landmark you can see from space.”

“If you turn lights on and off often in an attempt to save electricity, it uses more electricity than leaving it on. The idea behind this misconception is that most of the electricity is used in turning on the light. But this is untrue. It’s like believing turning a car on and off over and over again will use up more fuel than travelling hundreds of miles.”

“The first animal in space was a dog. No, and it wasn’t a chimp either. It was a fruit fly. Fruit flies were sent into space in 1946 to test radioactive exposure to gauge if humans could survive space. Eleven years later, Laika the dog was sent into space.”

“Clones look identical. If you cloned an animal ten times, you may have ten different looking creatures. A cat called Rainbow had a clone called Copycat (what else?) They looked nothing alike in color or pattern.”

“There is no gravity in space. There is gravity almost everywhere in space. It is reduced but we can’t escape gravity because it is a fundamental force of the universe. Astronauts seem weightless because they are orbiting Earth. They are falling towards Earth but they are moving sufficiently sideways to miss it. So they are constantly falling but never landing.”
