About kepler planets, I've wondered how they have been determining the chemical composition of these exo-planets.
I don't see how through measuring the duration and intensity of the light being dimmed as the planet passes in front of the star can tell them anything more than the things discussed in the following sentence. They are able to determine that the planet is there, and it's size, and it's distance from the star, but that's all they can possibly know , right?
what could they be using to determine the composition of an exo-planets surface and atmosphere?
We can determine chemical composition of the atmospheres and surfaces of other planets by measuring spectrums off of the light the reflect back from the planet's surface as the star shines light on it (spectral analysis) every element has a specific chemical signiture, so by using spectrosopy, the science of analyzing chemical structure through reflected light, we can easily determine chemical composition regarding local planets.
But how are they doing this with planets light years away only known to exist by its star dimming slightly as the planet passes in front of it? Can they even do this? If not than why make headlines when all your doing is speculating based on a minimal amount of dry data?
(This is off topic, by why did the Russians give up on gong to the moon? America got there first so they just quit? We're they unable to develop the technology?
...another quick question:
why has the United states never returned?
Why hasn't any other country gone to the moon?
Sorry if these are stupid questions, it just bothers me that's there is only one single source of footage of people landing on the moon. There is only one source for everything we know about putting a human on another planet. Which is NASA. It would be amazing to have another moon landing tape from someone other than NASA, specially with modern technology, it won't look terrible when filmed and broadcast with modern technology. (Did they even have digital calculators in the 1960s?) it would be amazing to see what explorers other than NASA could produce. NASA is not a civilian exploration and research agency, it's a branch of the military/government, they are not in any way obligated to tell you the truth, they can classify information, they are not an objective scientifical institution, though they present themselves to be something similar. I can't wait until civilian space exploration is possible.)

I can't wait until civilian space exploration is possible.)
-E. Borodin
The chemical compositions of the atmospheres of other planets is simple to figure out (not to people like me and you obviously, but luckily science can be dumbed down enough for even people like us to understand), though incomplete. When you shine white light through elements, they give off certain colors of the wavelength, when the star has a planet pass in front of it, light shines through the atmosphere and they can use sensitive equipment to pick up on what wavelengths are being portrayed around the planet, and while incomplete, it gives them the general makeup of the atmosphere itself, since the most abundant elements will show more of the that color. Sorry if this was a little funky, I'd have to link the article to explain it in detail and don't have time now, as we have technological innovation and advancements, we will be able to use this to determine whether actual life is on another planet. The surface on the other hand, I can't remember how they figure out, I read about it before but it's been a while.
I remember it being because there is the element oxygen which is created while a star is dieing, it's one of the top 8 most abundant elements in the universe I believe as well , but there is different compositions of it (again, might have terminology off, but just trying to paint the picture for you), only life gives off a certain type of oxygen, which I'll call oxygen two (I remember it was the atomic symbol for oxygen squared I believe), when we have technology advanced and sensitive enough to pick up these differences, we can use the light passing through the atmosphere of a planet to determine whether it has oxygen 2 in it, which would verify that there would have to be life on that planet producing it.
To your other points, the moon is not a planet and we haven't put a human on another planet, Yes they had calculators whether they were digital, I believe so, but my dad tells me were commonly referred to as "adding machines" and I still hear old timers use that phrase today. We have the technology for civilian space exploration, the problem is funds, and whether it is considered worth it.
The amount of money needed to invest in a project such as that, would be many many years before it would even be possible to return a profit on it.
The United States did return to the moon, a number of times, they stopped because of funding, the only reason we went in the first place is because during the cold war we were afraid of Russia gaining the high ground, especially after they released sputnik, we only ever went, out of fear.
Cold war and other wars ended, most likely leaving a government seeing it as a waste of resources to continue going back. It might be because we went that Russia and them never did, it was a space race after all, and we won that race.
We've been to the moon, if you had the money, you could buy a particular type of laser that can calculate the angle of, shoot at the moon, and it will bounce off plates placed in a certain position by the people who went within about a second or so, they actually used this technology to determine the exact rate at which the moon is moving away from us I believe.
From me and your viewpoint, it makes no sense to not go back to the moon, the government on the other hand probably thinks it makes a lot of sense not to go back especially if it isn't profitable. It's a shame though, the amount of our taxes that goes towards the space program is shameful, considering that space exploration is the greatest thing humans are capable of and already have the potential of doing. If even like one penny on a taxed dollar went to the space program (which is over half of what it is now), we could basically have the funding to send people to mars within 10 years and attempt to start colonizing it.
We'll go back to space though, don't you worry about that, all we need is china to say they're going to mars or getting ready to set up a colony on the moon, if that happens we'll be there so fast your head will spin.
This link can start you in the right direction http://www.universetoday.com/92962/how-well-can-astronomers-study-exoplanet-atmospheres/ and explains how they discover the makeup of exoplanets atmospheres much better then I can, I attempted to give you a general idea as there is a lot of information out about all of this but the answers to your other questions can be found everywhere, you just have to search around.
