On August 23, 1966, the first American spacecraft to orbit the moon, Lunar Orbiter 1 robotic spacecraft, part of NASA’s Lunar. Orbiter program, sent back to Earth two photos of the Earth taken from the distance of the moon. The main focus of the trip was to photograph smooth areas of the lunar surface for selection of safe landing sites for future Apollo missions. None of this could have happened without the mathematicians, engineers, or scientists that had been working on these spaceflight programs.

I am happy, really really happy. I am newly in love. I have to admit that I’m afraid. What if it doesn’t last? What if it is just puppy love? What if they don’t love me? Am I crazy for thinking this could be long-lasting love?

Each insurance company uses many factors to calculate what they charge a customer.

I am in the middle of a fight with my mother. I try to be respectful but she pushes every button I have. I truly do want a relationship with my mom, but I don’t know how to get past all of this. Any help?

“If Loving God Was a Crime, I’d Be an Outlaw” is God’s favorite song, says Ross, age 11.

So, about this being an adult thing, is it too late to get my money back? Do I need a receipt? I lost that around 50 years ago. Still, it’s broken and that’s not fair, right? I demand a full refund or, at least, an intense conversation with a manager. The world, from my standpoint, has become unhinged. Weather systems are in a tizzy. Humans are not behaving very humanly.
