++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Posted 2007.02.02 12h20 Neville J Another seven days have expired with no response on this matter -- now 21 days plus 10 months from first query. In the week just passed, I have been ploughing through the past postings on //www.freelists.org/list/geocentrism (of which I was previously unaware) and found within the usual lively debate this from you -- ====================================== [geocentrism] Re: Geosynchronous Satellites From: "Dr. Neville Jones" <ntj005@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2004 01:11:00 +0100 (BST) xxxxx, Having thought about your post again ... """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" I think that I have been open and honest on this forum and have usually bent over backwards to answer queries from all quarters. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Sometimes I wonder whether the time I spend each night ... Also, I tolerate ridicule and hostility from geocentrists, as well as the usual amount from so-called creationists (who accept certain verses in the Bible, but reject others in favour of "science"). Perhaps ... Neville. ====================================== Regarding the paragraph in quotes (lots of them) why do I seem to be numbered among those you have ignored? You place yourself in the public arena, you make public statements, you invite public criticism. If I find an item which, in my opinion at least, is incorrect, can you be surprised that I make the expected response? You have made sustained responses to some quite sustained criticism from others - why am I different? Come now, face the issue! Why did you not factor in the Deceleration due to Earth's Gravity? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Posted Fri, 26/1/07 7:07 PM Neville J Another seven days have expired with no response on this matter -- now 14 days plus 10 months from first query. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Posted Fri, 19/1/07 2:38 PM Neville J I appreciate that you are busy with the current theological debate, but notwithstanding this, I ask you again as I asked you seven days ago when I reiterated an unanswered question from ten months earlier -- why, in your scientific paper "On the feasability of landing a man on the Moon ..." have you not factored in the deceleration due to the Earth's gravity? Should you need to refer to the source, for your convenience, I have attached an extract of the relevant portions of the original paper. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Posted Fri, 12/1/07 2:58 PM Neville J ... and the matter of the Earth's deceleration of the Apollo vehicle? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (p/o) Posted Thu 2/3/06 1:43 PM The real problem I have however is your sums for determining the velocity of the rocket on arrival at the Moon's orbit. After correctly calculating the necessary departure velocity, some 27,580 mph, you subtract the 8709 mph available deceleration obtained from Table 1 to obtain 16,546 mph + S(sub)a relative to the approaching Moon. Come now Neville - I was watching your left hand - you just can't get away with that! Why haven't you factored in the deceleration due to the Earth's gravity from the moment the engines were cut off? I can't calculate it on the fly, but I'm sure you can - you invoke maths at the drop of a hat. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Paul D Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
