I'm not saying they did it Gary, because I'm not in there. All Im saying with 
certainty is that it could happen. Now back in 69, I was for the year at Nasa's 
deep space dish, I mentioned before.. The signals used for controlling these 
probes is not quite the same as talking man to man to the back of the mooon. 
Its computer to computer, with confirmations and repeats till all is confirmed. 
Like digital TV if you get it it will be correct. If you dont, then you get 
nothing. 

Most of the workers if not all were aussies.  I never saw a yank. As a 
technician, I had to do my job. I was a rebel back then. I think we were all 
rebels . I questioned everything. If there was any funny conspiracy thing 
falsefying data pretending to make phantom contacts whatever, then one of my 
mates would have tumbled. We were idealists. We would not take kindly to being 
abused and used. I'm sure the yankee techs in yankee land were exactly the 
same. Someone once said to me all electricians are mad. I took it as a 
compliment. We are not conspirator material.. University professors may be, if 
they did not come from the ranks of the hands on tradesman....

Philip.


Signals did come from deep space. They were called in every day when the pulse 
was sent to switch on the remote transmission. We could easily with a hand 
calculator compute roughly the distance by multiplying the seconds for the 
reply to begin, by 186000 miles, and divide by 2.... Every day we would know 
how further away it was and how fast it was going... The computers certainly 
would compute much more... 

Woomera is quite some hundreds of miles from Adelaide. No TV reception there.  
One day when there was a maintenance schedule and no tasks, the rebels pointed 
the dish in the direction of Adelaide and got some TV.....A bit like looking at 
your own feet with binoculars...

  Philip,

  Thanks for this post, it was helpful in my understanding.

  Are you limiting the angle of the space probe intercepting the planet it
  slingshots around to any certain degree, or not at all?  Seems to me the
  probe would have to be no less than a 90 degree intercept.  But I don't
  know.  The probe would clearly get the greatest change in velocity with the
  head-on (180 degree) intercept.

  I think I can kind of see the paper possibility here.  The planet's velocity
  speeds up the probe.  What I cannot understand is how could the technology
  which couldn't maintain the radio connection between Grissom and the tower
  in that famous incident Grissom commented on, "How are we going to
  communicate from here to moon?", manage all the theoretical maneuverings
  required for the slingshot to work the first time perfectly with these
  multibillion dollar probes?  How fast does Jupiter orbit anyway?  100,000
  mph?  200,000 mph?  At these speeds (if anywhere close to true) it would be
  awfully hard for the probe to safely intercept the planet, wouldn't it?

  Sincerely,

  Gary Shelton

  I propose. I ask you to reconsider what I said again re throwing a
  theoretically perfect elastic ball at the moon coming at it with velocity.
  The web site with all the math on this states that the planet has to
  approach the probe for it to impart extra kinetic energy to the probe.

  your difficulty is caused by my saying gravity can do the same thing as the
  magnet to a close fly by of mass.

  the link  to the math at the end,for you to refute, if these people are in

  are talking theoretical correctness, not whether we are capable of doing it.
  Let it be an accident then if you like.

  orbit and swung around till it is effectively now moving in the same
  direction as the planet with it. We could mention here that a trivial loss
  of energy and speed of the planet would have occured in doing the work of
  intercepting the ball.
