SO, you dot not swear that the Shuttle disappeared
"behind the horizon", when you saw a launch of a Shuttle, because the Shuttle DID NOT DISAPPEAR BEHIND THE HORIZON! No, It became to hard to track visually during day launches. HA! TYPICAL COVERUP EXCUSE! However, it was in orbit and back in view within 100 minutes of launch through the telescope at my one night launch. (We had a motor failure that stopped the smooth tracking during launch.) How do you know that it was not a meteor stone that you saw 100 minutes later? |

Lo, many moons past, on 16 Feb 2004 18:15:33 -0800, a stranger called
by some RetroProphet came forth and told this tale in alt.atheism SO, you dot not swear that the Shuttle disappeared "behind the horizon", when you saw a launch of a Shuttle, because the Shuttle DID NOT DISAPPEAR BEHIND THE HORIZON! No, It became to hard to track visually during day launches. HA! TYPICAL COVERUP EXCUSE! No, physics.

How do you know that it was not a meteor stone that you saw 100 minutes later? Because it was right where NASA said it would be. It had the same shape as the shuttle, the same colors as the shuttle, the same orbital speed as the shuttle, and followed the pre-announced orbital path for the shuttle. What we saw followed a predictable orbital track for the announced duration of the mission, then made a reentry that was visible to half the world, and ended with the orbiter landing back at KSC. After that, nothing along the orbital track. BTW: "Meteor" refers to a piece of rock or ice that has entered the Earth's atmosphere. The proper term for something that hasn't done this is asteroid (if it is of any size, a few meters or more) or debris. Most meteors you see are no bigger than grains of sand or small pebbles. -- Douglas Berry Do the OBVIOUS thing to send e-mail Atheist #2147, Atheist Vet #5 Ezekiel 13:20 "Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows" |
