... per 1.05 quarts. In contrast, if we do accurately confirm the presence of water ice on the Moon, and develop effective mining and refining techniques, we may be able to transport the same quart of water from the Moon to low Earth orbit for only $2,000 per 1.05 quarts ...
The different colors of the Moon appear to be determined by the wavelengths the Earth's atmosphere filters out. All energy travels in waves, much like ocean waves. Light is a form of energy and ... only the longer wavelengths (toward the red end of the spectrum) get through the atmosphere. By contrast, light from objects that are higher up in the sky does not have to travel through as much atmosphere ...
If you want to know how much it costs NASA to fly the Space Shuttle once, then that number is a little easier to find. Depending on how you count it's between $500 million and $1.5 billion.

... to each other, but very close. The differences in the lengths of these three axes give the Moon a sort of egg shape (but not very much), with the fat end pointing to Earth, and its width being a bit more than its height. We don't have adequate maps yet of the Moon to have an exact number for the diameters noted above, but on average the diameter of the Moon is about ~ 2,160 miles. http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/moon_worldbook.html (See ...
