Space and Science Facts Quiz

The Apollo Guidance Computer had approximately 64KB of memory and operated at about 1.024 MHz, which is vastly less powerful than even a basic modern smartwatch with gigabytes of memory and gigahertz processors.

NASA safety protocols required spectators to be seated 3.5 miles away from the launchpad due to the risk of rocket explosion. The Saturn V rockets carried massive fuel loads and posed genuine explosion risks.

During the Apollo 11 lunar landing, fuel alarms sounded and the crew had less than 30 seconds of fuel remaining when Armstrong finally landed. This is a well-documented fact from the mission.

Buzz Aldrin did indeed urinate into a specially designed collection bag in his suit shortly after stepping onto the lunar surface. This is a documented fact from the mission.

Lightning can reach temperatures of approximately 30,000 Kelvin (about 29,700°C), which is indeed much hotter than the Sun's surface temperature of about 5,500°C (5,400°C in the question).

The Earth does experience approximately 25 million lightning strikes annually across roughly 100,000 thunderstorms. This is a well-documented meteorological statistic.

A typical lightning bolt contains 1-5 billion joules of energy. A 100-watt bulb running for 90 days consumes about 777,600,000 joules (100W × 24hrs × 90 days), making this estimate roughly accurate.

Bhopal is the capital city of Madhya Pradesh. Indore, Gwalior, and Jabalpur are major cities in the state but not the capital. The capital was established in 1956 when Madhya Pradesh was formed.
