Paul,
   
  The paper that you refer to, regarding the feasibility of landing safely on 
the Moon, is not currently up on the Internet, nor has it been for a long time. 
It was taken down at about the same time that I removed one on Celestial Poles 
and one on Mach's Principle. In fact, Bernie has long been awaiting the 
"resurrection" of the last two.
   
  I am currently working on satellites and, in particular, gravitational 
fields. This work is having an impact on all of these previous papers, because 
my research in this area is evolving.
   
  You are partially correct in your claim that I have omitted an effect due to 
the World's gravitational field, but when I dug out the old paper I saw that I 
had always been meaning to put it in. (In the diagram, I have subtracted a 
"Sa(t)" term, which was intended to be the term to which you refer. However, I 
have neglected to add another such term for the increase in speed due to the 
attraction of the Moon, which I have erroneously equated to the Sa(t) term in 
the text. This is entirely my error.)
   
  I hope that you can appreciate that a website has one great advantage over 
printed matter, inasmuch as it allows for updated material. I also hope that 
you can appreciate the fact that I update material as and when I am happy with 
it (if ever, in some circumstances), and that I have not "sent you to Coventry."
   
  Neville.

  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 --

  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?

  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.

  ... and the matter of the Earth's deceleration of the Apollo vehicle?

  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.
