Today if you can afford it you certainly be a space tourist look Captain Kirk will be going up in a couple month's. And that' is about as far as human's can go.

And if it really was possible why didn't we , instead of killing one another build a moon base? Now today it's all about saving earth all the sudden cause the Chinese Have released the first shot. Bio warfare I have a question why do all the old that are in power are still alive. How come none of them or their family' have died? Do they have different DNA ? Or do they the one's who created this have a cure. i want to hear on the news how many of their family member's are dying. My family is dying 25 to the Grand parent's , And i want those who created this virus to pay. Sorry i went completely off the rocker. In don't want to see another millionaire or billionaire floating in space .

Semi Off Topic: an article about part of the Saturn V stage for Apollo 12, which is still in orbit after many years. It's huge, even though it's just part of the whole rocket.

Interesting thing is, it orbits both Earth AND the Sun. It reappears circling Earth at 40 year intervals. Its last visit to Earth ended in 2003. I didn't even know that an object have a dual orbit like that! Basically, Earth and the Sun pass it between each other ..

eventually it may collide with the moon or Earth, but potential damage is low.

Well all earth satellites orbit the sun.

But the unstable orbit of J002E3 is quite interesting. We are still not 100% positive what it is, but the Saturn Booster idea seems reasonable.

Because it passes inside the orbit of our moon, its orbit processes to the point where its apogee is beyond the first Lagrange point so it then transitions to a heliocentric orbit.

It seems to follow a pattern of six highly elliptical earth orbits and one very high solar orbit and then back for six. Weird.
