Earth to be Proven Round Soon

Honestly, it's really ridiculous. I have never been anything other than polite to him.

I was content to ignore your complaint about my "government source" at first but you just had to press the issue.  So please, enlighten us as to how the pad is below sea level?  Here's the pad, note that it's right on the beach and must clearly be above sea level:

A 7 foot elevation doesn't seem like an unreasonable figure for this to me.

Is there a reason you're unwilling to cite a source to back up your assertion about the height of the base? 

Can you cite some source material to back up your claim vis a vis the pad base's dimensions?

Ski's own source contained the information needed.  The flame trench is 42 feet deep and as you can plainly see on all the pictures, the flame trench exit is near the bottom of the pad base.  Using that figure may actually be a bit generous in the sense that it probably underestimates the pad base size by a couple feet.  You can see what one of the flame trenches looks like here, and notice it's no deeper than the pad base itself:


The "hallways" you see at the bottom of the pad base are the exits of one of the flame trenches.  Basically ground level.

Everyone here has been very polite to you considering your tendency towards personal attacks and rudeness. 

Oh yes, because lying about the height of the launch tower to fudge my figure is SO polite.  Frankly, I don't give a d*mn how you treat me with regards to language, I place far more value on how people treat the evidence.  Since you people are so incredibly sensitive (I wonder if it's indicative of self-esteem issues; why do you care how some jerk on the internet treats you?) I'll censor my own posts in the future, not because I care what you think of me or how you personally treat me, but because I'm tired of all the whining.

Is there a reason you're unwilling to cite a source to back up your assertion about the height of the base? 

See above, ski's own source had all the information needed for a person to figure it out.

I was content to ignore your ignorance of reasonable self-conduct, until you added me to your list of people to be rude to for know reason. When you can behave like an adult, I'll treat you like one. I'm not in the habit of arguing with children.
