You are dead wrong. *Please* do yourself a favor and read up a bit about orbital mechanics. Its fun to see you make an ass of yourself like this but really, it does have a danger of misinforming some person that actually believes you. PLONK (For _your_ arrogance!) Yeah, after all you wouldn't want to risk learning something yourself if one of your posts was corrected in the future. |

Anyway, Marv', if you're still following the thread - Henry and Hop (see below) have provided great examples of how to correct someone politely. And as you can see, when corrected accurately (and politely), I acknowledge it gracefully. From a former regular turned occasional lurker: Unfortunately, there's a bit of pot-kettle-black hypocrisy here; I've read countless posts of yours where you have spurned the opportunity to correct someone politely in favor of acting like, well, a J.D. full of B.S. A dose of your own medicine might, on occasion, serve you well. Andy "Gee, I thought we'd be a lot higher at MECO!" [Steve Hawley, STS 41-D pad abort, 1984] |

In practice, the way one measures air density -- usually of more practical interest than the pressure -- at satellite altitudes is to track a satellite of known size and see how much air drag it's experiencing. -- MOST launched 30 June; science observations running | Henry Spencer since Oct; first surprises seen; papers pending. | |
