I can tell you what it does NOT mean. It does NOT mean telling someone to go google something. Care to try again? I'll remember to remind you of the above when you insult me next time telling me I should look it up on Google. The difference here was I was asking for a cite to back up an assertion that has nothing to do with sci.space.policy (i.e. this isn't an aircraft group). You are constantly asking for basic information which is topical to sci.space.policy that has already been all over the online space press. The space news websites aren't hard to find and they're quite numerous. I follow more than 1/2 a dozen of these sites. A few sites I quit following because they're too tied into the SLS mafia and allow trolls to post asinine comments calling Falcon 9 Elon Musk's "hobby rocket". Yeah, the "hobby rocket" which single handedly increased the US share of the global launch market to 60! That's not a "hobby", that's a market disruptor. Facts don't seem to matter to the SLS mafia anymore than they do to the Musk "fanboys" that think we're going to Mars in a couple of years on BFR/BFS based on an aspirational goal set by Elon Musk that anyone with half a brain knows has a small chance of actually being met. But I digress. The point is that you're posting questions to sci.space.policy without doing any basic reading on the topic. It gets old. Let me suggest you start with Ars Technica (specifically articles by Eric Berger) and Parabolic Arc. These sites cover a wide range of space related topics and have a lot of depth to them as well. Personally, I don't mind people asking questions for which the answers can be easily found. It can bring about some interesting discussions. I don't mind some of it but it does get tiresome, particularly when the 'questions' are essentially arguing with the answers to previous questions or are predicated on a fantasy view of how physics works. -- "It's always different.

10:44:28 -0400: I ask questions here bacsue of better quality of answers (once you remove the insults from McCall). Get basic physics right and stop arguing with answers you're given and you'll find you get a lot fewer 'insults' (is it an 'insult' when it's a true description?). -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G.
