I recently watched the film Hidden Figures. It tells the story of three African-American women who were involved in the NASA Space program in the early 1960's. The women were part of a group of human female "computers". One the women, Katherine Johnson, was instrumental in creating the orbital...

Odd, we have refuted flat earth nonsense dozens of times over two threads, Dave. You simply either refuse to admit you don't understand physics and have yet to address how a geosynchronous satellite would function in a flat Earth model. Lets be honest here, Dave. You have no interest in...

I have a 17 year old nephew. Last week out of the blue he decided to join the U.S. Marine Corps! This came out a complete shock to our family. He's never shown any interest in joining the military before. My nephew has never been the most disciplined kid. He's been kind of lazy at times to be...

I've always wondered why third party presidential bids are never serious threats. This FiveThirtyEight article delved into the reasons. America Isn’t Really Set Up For Third-Party Presidential Bids What we’re seeing play out is a concept known in political science as Duverger’s Law, or the...

So I have some questions. How would re-criminalizing homosexuality actual be brought about? Would it be federal law? State law? What exactly will be criminalized? Just homosexual acts? Having attraction to the same sex? What happens to someone caught of a homosexual act? Will they executed? Sent...

Knight, I have mentioned before that I have spent 15 years designing and building large commercial geosynchronous satellites that are for cable TV, satellite phones, mobile services ,etc. ALL of these satellites are designed to orbit a spherical Earth. ALL of its Earth observing sensing...

Hello there, JudgeRightly. I have been well. I don't post as much but I do lurk quite a bit. How are you?

Patrick Jane! BOOM! You have no answer to this do you?! :wazzup:

Yes, as far as I know they have zero government funding. They did have to acquire government approval to use the appropriate orbital slots and the appropriate frequency range for these satellites. They were granted this approval about two weeks ago, the first company ever granted such an...

The is purely a private business venture. It's a joint venture by Oneweb and Airbus. The plan is not to sell Internet service directly to people but to the large Internet providers. Airbus has created the first ever automated manufacturing line in Toulouse, France. Once their manufacturing plant...

I'm amazed this thread is still going on. :chuckle: I was offered a job ( I declined the job) to build a large fleet of 600+ low Earth orbit satellites for Internet service.

That is SAVAGE, JudgeRightly! :rotfl:

I've always believed that the NFL has a de facto racial caste system in place that only allows black players and white players to play certain positions. Very few punters/kickers and centers are black. White running backs are very rare and there has not been a white cornerback since 2003. The...

I see no such thing as you describe.

That'a not true, Dave. I don't see the horizon bend back and forth. Does anyone else see what Dave is describing?

You are simply 100% wrong on this Dave. Some guys wanted to protest Trump in a creative way. They launched a high altitude balloon with a protest sign. And you see the curvature of the Earth clearly in the background. No NASA and no fish-eye lens.

His key points that no Moon hoaxer has ever refuted are: 1) No high speed video cameras existed in 1969. 2) Creating a high speed film fake Moon landing was pretty much impossible to do in 1969.
