Where's my telescope?
« on: May 22, 2008, 07:58:24 AM »
I worked with Dynacon and the CSA to build a space imaging satellite for the University of British Columbia. I was the systems engineer and had my hand in several electrical systems on the telescope. It was delivered to sun-synchronous orbit in 2003 out of Plesetsk. After successful launch one of the first things we did was image it from the earth. Though it is extremely small it can be viewed through a telescope from Earth. It is in a polar orbit and passes over antarctica (98.7deg). I can't tell you that I've witnessed it do this by any tangible means but I can tell you that we don't lose communication with it. If the satellite disappeared below the plane of a flat earth then communication would be impossible due to the Earth acting as a giant ground plane, preventing microwave propagation. If it orbits like you guys say the sun does on your faq then the entire camera pointing system is designed completely wrong and we wouldn't be able to produce stable images of stars. I don't care to try to convince anyone that the earth is not flat. I am just curious.....if the Earth is flat then where is my telescope? ....or at what point in my education or career as an engineer did I become part of a conspiracy?

He's obviously lying. The CSA was destroyed after the Union soundly defeated it in the Civil War.

That means...soabsurd is a slave-holding bigot! Out! Out! You demon of intolerance to our point of view! OUT! OUT!

Never mind them! Can't you see we're fighting slavery here?

Virgil Caine is my name, and I served on the Danville train,
'Til Stonewall's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again.
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive.
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember oh so well...

The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringin'.
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin'.
They went
