To show just how eight Newton was you just need to look at Apollo 11.


I am answering any objections in this thread. Apollo 11, washing machines, computers are all engineering sciences much like medical sciences while this is an astronomy/terrestrial science forum where the motions of the Earth and the arrangement of the solar system affects experiences and life on the surface. The idea that the fall of an apples can upscale to planetary orbital motion is through a sequence of precepts outlined in the original presentation in this thread. It is fine saying that objects attract each other but Newton had to apply it to astronomical methods and insights and that is where it disappears in a cloud of slogan chanting, stock phrases, voodoo and bluffing.


Are we to take it that from now on you will stick to your own threads?
If not:
Twenty-six hours into the mission, and almost 175,000 km from home, the
Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine of the command and service module
Columbia roared silently into the void for three seconds in what flight
controllers lauded as an “absolutely nominal” firing. In his autobiography,
Collins related that, for those few seconds, he was in active control.
Several months earlier, his five-year-old son had asked who was ‘driving’
Apollo 8 to the Moon: was it Mr Borman, the ship’s commander? No, Collins
replied, it was Sir Isaac Newton – or, at least, the influences of Sun,
Earth and Moon, which affected the spacecraft’s path just as the great
English scientist’s law of universal gravitation had helped predict three
centuries before.
