is it true that life on earth would be impossable without our moon?

[sciencemadefun]

Yes it is. The Moon stablised the seasons, slowed down the rotation rate of the Earth (a day used to be 5 hours long!) and also protected us from impacts

Might I make a suggestion?

Steer clear of making jokes about "shorter school hours" and "teenage achne" when talking live to schools.

The students just find them lame and condesending and not as the like-minded link you think you are making.

Other then that I really apprichiate what you are doing and I find all of your podcasts informative and interesting.
