To the Genius FEs

Ok, let's assume that all the moon landings were fake (baaaaah-ha-ha-ha-ha), sorry.  We launch satellites all the time - since 1958.  The satellites orbit the earth on precisely calculated paths.  They talk to each other based on their orbital (i.e. circular) trajectory.  They relay their positional data back down to earth...this is how we know where they're located.

Our nation's GPS system does this by design.  A design based on rotational orbits, trajectories and much other known physics you seem to ignore.  I know, I'm a engineer who has built these things for 22 years.

Lastly, based on your preposterous theory, if you were to circumnavigate Antarctica, you should clock about 26,000+ miles, correct?  Uhhhhh, sorry, not even close.  Check the continually verified polar orbit data from 50 years of spacecraft operations.   My suggestion:  Hang around some smarter people.

Applying RE logic to the FE model doesn't work due to the difference in both models' maps. Kindly GTFO and take your fail with you.

How dare you people cut down this mans work to a simple "it can't happen"

He's clearly got some knowledge in the field. It's not like he sells viagra on the internet.

GPS uses pseudolites. Polar orbit satellites either do not exist, or use a complex orbital path to create the illusion of polar orbit.

What exactly are pseudolites?  The little points of light that I see going overhead with the naked eye?  Those fake things that were launched into the extreme upper atmosphere to dupe us poor RE'ers into thinking that they were launched into the upper atmosphere to provide information?

They do provide information. They are just not in orbit.

OK...where are they, then?...and how do they maintain constant altitude?  And what might their trajectory be?  if they make passes every 91 minutes, that is a circular path.  Not just the garden variety East/west trajectories, but also the North/South movers as well.  Not trying to be too much of a smart ass, but I would like a bit more of an answer than "beacues that the way it is"

FE answer = faked by magic.  Wizards are conspiring against us muggles. 

My use of the word "orbital" was erroneous. I apologise.

What word would you use, then?

I don't yet have one.

OK..that's fair also.  Yet you concede that you see satellites/pseudolites moving in predictable paths?  Again, I'm not trying to be picky, I'm just trying to see/understand the world through a FE'ers eyes.  If there is more Empirical Data in a RE view than in an FE view, it must be a challenge to keep to your beliefs.  At least, I've seen more Emperical Data in RET than in FET.

Yet you postulate about it...is that not taking a position?

So...if I were to advocate an FE world view, you would argue the RE side?
