Granada: A Beautiful City
Granada, A Different Experience
If you want to see the real influence that the Muslims had upon some regions of Spain, then go to Granada. The Alhambra Palace and its gardens represent the apogee of the Muslim architecture.
Sightseeing in Granada
The center of Granada is one place worth visiting. Gran Via de Colon is the artery that crosses the center of Granada from one part to the other. The artery is packed with beautiful monuments, exquisite examples of different architectural styles: Baroque, Gothic, Renaissance and even Mudejar. The heart of the city is represented by the Plaza de Isabel la Catolica, a square that hosts in the center of it, an imposing Cathedral. The square is surrounded by other monuments: museums, other cathedrals, and many sculptures. The impressive Cathedral dominates the south-western corner of Granada. Its most important part is the Capilla Real.
The Catholic kings of Spain wanted Capilla Real to be the place that hosts their graves. It resulted a beautiful buiding in an Isabelian Gothic style, generous enough for its royal guests. The beautiful graves of Fernando and Isabela belong to the architect Domenico Fancelli. The cathedral has been built on the exact place where the Great Mosque used to be. From the Cathedral, go to the Monasterio de San Jeronimo.
The Monastery is a Renaissance jewel, that stands out with a beautiful gallery, the work of Diego de Siloe, the Cathedral's architect. Your next stop should be the La Cartuja Monastery, the biggest Baroque monument in Granada. The monastery has generous ornaments: gold, marble, venitian mirrors, mural paintings, they all decorate the monastery. If you want to turn your attention to the Spanish literature and poetry, visit the former vacation house of Federico Gracia Lorca. The house has been transformed into a museum where you can see some of his works, the original pieces of furniture, paintings made by some of hise friends, like Salvador Dali, and lost of photographs.
Alhambra
You need a lot of time and energy in order to visit Granada's biggest attractions: the Alhambra Palace. The splendor is visible from any part of the city; its walls and its towers dominate the entire view of the city. On the alley of its gardens you will find a private place where you can meditate about the past of this fantastic country. Enjoy Granada, and enjoy this wonderful country.

Why are we going round and round the earth to moon?
What we are doing is increasing the apogee slowly from 23000 Km to 3 lakh Km. Does it mean that we were unable to cross 11.2Km/sec i.e. the escape velocity?
Indian Mission to the moon.
Well!!!!!!!! I am an ISRO scientist and have a duty to explain you.
First on escape velocity...
Escape velocity is the speed where the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the magnitude of its gravitational potential energy.
Planetary escape velocity is sometimes misunderstood to be the speed a powered vehicle (such as a rocket) must reach to leave orbit; however, this is not the case, as the quoted number is typically the surface escape velocity, and vehicles never achieve that speed directly from the surface. This surface escape velocity is the speed required for an object to leave the planet if the object is simply projected from the surface of the planet and then left without any more kinetic energy input: in practice the vehicle's propulsion system will continue to provide energy after it has left the surface.
In fact a vehicle can leave the Earth's gravity at any speed. At higher altitude, the local escape velocity is lower. But at the instant the propulsion stops, the vehicle can only escape if its speed is greater than or equal to the local escape velocity at that position. At sufficiently high altitude this speed can approach 0.
{ We got near 8.3 km/s which is far more than 6.5 km/s required from earths surface. 11.2 km/s is that required from earths centre}
Now moon's orbit..
Moons path around earth is elliptical. So, we always try to catch the moon when it is at nearest possible distance from us (This occurs once a month). The perigee is at 3 lakh km.
We can just inject the space craft into moons orbit with just one manovure of 240 x 3 lakh km. Butthere are many constraints to be checked. One of the main reasons is the fuel required.
We had to consider many ways to reach moon and we are going through one of the optima ways. This method we adopt now is easier to control too..
