For a dishonest twit like you, everything is in what you say and what you get people to believe. The fact is in the reality. If the false mathematics and orbital mechanics to which you ascribe are used in real life, there will be catastrophe. If the proper orbital mechanics are used such as I was taught, actual space exploration can occur. The point then is to keep you and your false theoretics out of any actual consideration with the use of public funds. In the meantime, you can beat on your little drum all you want. Just leave us the hell alone. KDeatherage

Which brings me back to my original question: If what I was taught is wrong, how do you think men and machinery are being sent into space? On backs of hoping and praying? While you are contemplating that, why don't you sit down and think about Lagrange points.
