AWESOME FACTS ABOUT EVERYTHING XV

1. The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching our galaxy, the Milky Way, at the rate of about 68 miles per second. Eventually the two will collide. Should you worry?

2. Venus may be beautiful, but it has an average surface temperature of 842 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. A full NASA space suit costs $12,000,000. 70% of that cost is for the backpack and control module.

4. Unless disturbed by human intrusion, the footprints of the Apollo 11 astronauts on the moon could be there for 100 million years. 

5. Space is completely silent. There is no atmosphere, so sound waves have no medium or way to travel. Radio waves, however, can be sent and received, and this is how astronauts communicate with each other and with earth.

Answer to #1:

Not unless you plan to be around in 3.75 billion years.
