Galaxy Explorers Teen Volunteers and Internships

On Oct. 27, 2009, NASA launches the
first flight of a new era with the flight test of the Ares I-X rocket. In
preparation for the flight test, NASA has launched a new Web site to involve
the public in this exciting and historic event.



The “MyExploration” Web site
encourages visitors to learn, explore and participate in th...e upcoming mission.
NASA is asking the public to upload 60-second videos that finish the statement
“Space exploration is important because …” These videos will be posted on the
site for others to see.





The “MyExploration” Web site also
has links to Ares information on the Web, including links to the latest news
and information on Flickr, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.



To learn more, upload your video,
view videos submitted by others, and take the “MyExploration” quiz, visit http://www.nasa.gov/myexploration.Read More

This episode airs on Tuesday, August 25 @ 9PM on the History Channel. Parts of this episode were filmed here at Chabot and features our own Board member Alex Fileppenko.

Without the moon, Earth would be a very different and desolate place today--four hours of sunlight with pitch-black nights, steady 100-mph winds spawni...ng giant hurricanes that last for months, and virtually no complex life forms, much less humans. Safe to say, we probably owe our very existence to the moon. But what if it suddenly disappeared? Solar gravity redirects ocean water that floods coastal spots around the globe. Sea currents shift, resulting in freakish weather patterns. Eventually, earth's axis begins fluctuating wildly and climate change grows more extreme. The poles are tropical jungles and parts of the equator become frigid wastelands. Human evolution starts churning in unpredictable ways or ends completely. Without the moon, the Earth is a very different place.
