What is the visual difference between a stone and a satellite?
"bart janssens" wrote in message om... If Magellan had claimed that the earth was flat, after he had circeld the globe, Copernicus and Galileo rightly would call him a LIAR,INSANE or a KOOK! And yet, you would tell all the thousands of people who flew the Concorde across the Atlantic (3,461 miles in 3.25 to 3.5 hrs, in the case of NY/London), that they were never travelling faster than sound. You've even bet your life and all of your money on it. They would all rightly call you "a LIAR,INSANE or a KOOK!" They're your own words... How about the SR-71 Blackbird crews that set New York to London speed records back in 1974? New York to London Speed Run: Time Flown: 1hour, 54min, 56.4sec Distance Flown: 3,461.528 statute miles Speed Flown: 1,806.957368 statute mi/hr. London to Los Angeles Speed Run: Time Flown: 3hour, 47min, 39sec Distance Flown: 5,446.87 statute miles Speed Flown: 1,435.59 statute mi/hr. -- Stephen Home Page: stephmon.com Satellite Hunting: sathunt.com |
