The reason such an orbit wasn't used during Apollo was because the moon's rotation would have taken the lander out from under the plane of the orbit. The LEM crew would have had to wait two weeks before they could launch and rejoin the CSM. That's true for the general case, where the LM lands somewhere other than the pole. But if the LM lands at or near the pole, it will remain in the CSM orbital plane and will get a launch window each orbit. -- JRF Reply-to address spam-proofed - to reply by E-mail, check "Organization" (I am not assimilated) and think one step ahead of IBM. |

How about we try the old "fight fire with fire" approach: spam them back. The standard recomendation has been to never reply to spam, but I I don't believe you understand much of anything. Even my autoresponders get spam and send automatic replies resulting in undeliverable bounces. You can't spam the spammers back because they HATE SPAM and prevent its reception on their end by not providing any contact info without a PAID ORDER. If you'd like to try your method just send me your e-mail address and I'll forward you the 300+ spams a day I get. don't recall seeing are any significant historical examples of urban areas that have reverted to agriculture - absent a total economic collapse. Duh, follow the marginal costs. Retake your college course with an eye to understanding it this time. or a Multinational Conglomerate, to be a market. My point was that we have to have a marketable vehicle before we can develop the markets - an extraordinary vehicle if we want to develop extraordinary markets. I And my point remains exactly the opposite---and the economic studies have proved my point time and time again. "Build it, they will come" makes a nice sappy movie but IT IS NOT reality. -- James E.

Your definition of a "market" was interesting for someone who claims to know something about marketing - you had it exactly backwards (to the extent that it made any sense at all). If your point was exactly the opposite of mine then you must think you can market a sow's ear as a silk purse. Go right ahead. Furthermore I have NEVER said that a private sector RLV development makes economic sense for investors. Go breath into a paper bag for a few minutes and you'll feel better. plonk -- James E.

Right. I get maybe one or two spams a day, so my approach seems to work better than Mr. White's. Basically, spammers want to know if anybody is there. It costs them effectively nothing to send an email, so if there is even the faintest chance of the mail being read, sending is 'worthwhile'. The number of emails a day you receive, is dependant on how long you have been on the web, and the locations where your email address has been published (this makes it very awkward to 'advertise' an email address). Most 'bounce' programs, or spurious replies, are signals that there is a legitimate address at this point. The exception, is where a full 'mail server' is setup, and can generate proper 'invalid address' bounces. In the past a bounce did sometimes work, but recently some spammers have started scanning the bounces to detect the difference between 'soft' bounces, and genuine network bounces. On top of this though, a couple of recent viruses, and some spammers, 'spoof' the 'reply to' address, so the mail _appears_ to come from somebody who is completely innocent of sending the spam. Some of your 'spam' messages, may themself be bounces from other people, thinking that _you_ are originating spam. Others will just be bounced back to you. Both routes, increase the amount of network traffic generated by the original spam, and the costs in performance terms for other users rise. The number you receive, is 99% determined by how long you have been on the net, and how much your address is publicised, which is why the number of spam posts you are seeing is less than Mr White's. It takes a very significant time for an address to appear in the larger databases. After a while, you will find the problem rising. This is why changing email addresses after a few months is becoming a common 'defence'. Realistically, it is the zero cost, that makes bulk spamming to the current level happen. Though the concept of 'free' communication seems so nice, you end up paying for it in the time/work involved in dealing with the junk. If you had to pay a tiny fee, something like 1 cent/mail/recipient, if you sent more than ten emails a day, going to more than four targets, the rate would reduce from the current 'flood' to a 'trickle'. However the current infrastructure makes achieving this, and agreeing on it very hard. don't recall seeing are any significant historical examples of urban areas that have reverted to agriculture - absent a total economic collapse.
