Basically, because it is too tiny. The Moon does not have a strong enough gravitational field to support an atmosphere.

Some other moons have faint traces of gas above their surfaces, but Titan is the only one with a proper atmosphere. It is several times' denser than Earth's, and made mostly of nitrogen and methane. It is thought that all large bodies in the solar system once had an atmosphere, but in most cases it soon leaked away into space. Titan, however, has relatively powerful gravity, helping it to hold onto its gas.

The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. The Moon does the same thing. It rises in the East and sets in the West.

We think that the ice on the moon came from comets! Comets are made up of mostly ice with some rocks and dirt mixed in. We think that most of the water on the earth probably came from comets that crashed into the earth when the earth was very, very young. The ice on the moon may have come the same way. Most of the water on the moon evaporated away a long time ago. But the ice at the South Pole stayed there because it is very, very cold and is in a dark area where the sun never shines.

Conventions are always pretty congenial and relaxed during the sessions that are open only to registrants. Welcome receptions usually allow time for a lot of socializing, where friends can catch up on old news and share their new tattoos with others. Quite a few people take their cameras along, snapping shots of tattoos and people. This period is also the time to see the real serious tattoo enthusiasts and artists, since these are the ones who usually register for the entire convention.

It's a programmable, sample-based Virtual Synth Module software plug-in, which combines a massive 3.7 gigabyte core library with a powerful, yet easy to use interface and synth engine for manipulating the sounds, and creating your own original patches.

We have had several free updates already for LFO sync and platform compatibility. Exciting things are planned for the future, but no specific information has been officially announced yet. No. It uses the RAM in your computer, which is far less taxing on your system and allows for better and more reliable host integration.

the Moon orbits, it always presents the same side toward the Earth. This is so because Earth's gravity has slowed the Moon’s rotation so that it just matches the time it takes to go around the Earth. So the Moon takes the same amount of time to revolve around the Earth as it takes to rotate around its spin axis.

We recommend at least a 500mhz machine...the faster the better. Atmosphere will run with slower computers, but once you've heard the sounds, you will want to run as many Atmospheres as possible at the same time! Of course...faster is always better.

Not without obtaining a license transfer from Spectrasonics. The sounds and software are licensed and registered ONLY to you. You cannot automatically transfer the license to someone else, and therefore you cannot simply sell it used. If you do attempt to sell it used without obtaining a license transfer, the buyer will not be able to use the product because it is registered and licensed to you. The Atmosphere license is the right given to a single person to use the instrument.

The custom UVI engine we use can handle any sample rate/bit rate up to 192k/32 bit. This gives us the flexibility to use the highest rate necessary to capture the best quality sound on a sample by sample basis... so you always get the best possible sound, with the optimum memory efficiency.

Night hikes are scheduled fortnightly (every other week) on Thursdays. These hikes will usually meet around 7pm and will be much shorter than our normal Saturday hikes (usually 3-6 miles compared to 8-14). If we hike under clear skies we should be granted views of the stars (around a new moon) or moon shadows and the possibly of hiking without artificial light (near a full moon). Night hikes are a new addition to our schedule in 2007, and if they prove popular we'll try to hold them regularly.

Blue Moon is the name given to the second full moon in a month. Since a full moon occurs every 29 1/2 days, if there is a full moon on the 1st or 2nd day of a month, there is a good chance there will be a second full moon, or blue moon, that month. In 1999, there were two blue moons very close together. One was January 31st (full moons on the 2nd and the 31st) and another two months later on March 31st (full moons again on the 2nd and the 31st). February had no full moon that year.

If it rains, leave the jump up, Once the rain slows down or stops, wipe down the inside of the Moon Bounce & let the kids back in. The kids do not care if it has rained - they just want to jump. Note: The vinyl gets very slippery when wet, so make sure it is dry.

It depends. You get what you pay for - Cheap moon bounces cost less and therefore are rented for less. The higher quality jumps with the latest safety features and better bounce cost more and therefore cost more to rent. If you want the convenience of having someone deliver, setup, give instruction, and remove the moon bounce, you will pay more.

No food or drink, no shoes, no sharp objects, no visible metal zippers, no medical conditions including pregnancy, no wrestling/roughhousing, no hanging on the netting, no flips, no Silly String or Sand.

Yes, the Moon Bounce will be secured with sand bags rather than stakes. However it is HIGHLY recommended that the Moon Bounce be set up on grass whenever possible. It is possible that someone could slip getting into our out of the moon bounce and hit the ground. The cement is unforgiving when this happens. There is an additional fee for hard surface setups.

The Moon Bounce needs to be within 75-100 feet of an outlet. Longer cords may be used, but the blower will lose power, as the extension card gets longer. The ground should be as level as possible. Nothing more than an 8-inch difference in height from one end to the other. If there is more than that, the kids will end up bouncing down hill and bump into each other.

Yes, CSR of Texarkana has many Party Machines such as: SnoCone, Popcorn, Cotton Candy Frushee (Icee, Slushie), Nacho, Hot Dog, Coffee Urns and Helium tanks and balloons. We also have other party games such as: Balloon Splash, Froggy the Fly Catcher, Golf Challenge, Pit Stop, Monster Basketball (8', 6' & 4' versions), Monster Soccer Goals & Balls, Croquet, Horseshoes, etc.

The space shuttle is not designed for use beyond low-Earth orbit. Wings are not necessary. There are several issues that prevent the use of the space shuttle for lunar exploration. To escape the Earth's gravity, any spacecraft must attain a speed of more than 17,500 mph. The shuttle is designed for re-entry from an Earth orbital speed of 17,500 mph, not the 25,000 mph speed of a moon mission.
