Ohhh I'm sorry, you were gullible enough to believe their math?
Yeah, I did miss a decimal point. But still!
It isn't "their math". It is basic math, which it appears you can't do.
You didn't miss a decimal point, you left out 24 hours in a day.
The question is if this was intentional or you just failing at basic arithmetic.
But what is clear, is that it is certainly dishonest.
At 25 000 miles per day, it would be 15.3 years. At 40 000 miles per day it would be 9.6.
So you pick the slowest speed to get the longest time.
This shows it was a factor of 24.
If you include that factor of 24 you get 0.4 to 0.6 years. Changing it by factors of 10 (for a decimal place) will not bring that to 15.
This with no air to combust, and no friction to push off of.
You not understanding how rockets work doesn't mean they don't.
Unlike Jet Engines, rockets carry fuel and oxidiser with them.
That means they have everything they need for combustion and don't need air.
And they push off their exhaust gases.
Your claims are entirely nonsense.
Odds are it's pretty expensive to burn fuel and air at the constant rate needed to get there
Why assume it is constant?
Why not assume it is done in brief periods with the majority of the time spent in free fall?
not just the rear needs gas to move but the entire surface around the shuttle, or it's burning fuel yet staying in place.
Why?
Because your delusional garbage says so?
Here is a simple question for you, say you have a spring, between 2 weights, with those weights initially held together by a short string compressing the spring, with all of this in a vacuum.
The string then breaks. What happens?
Do they magically just sit there, with the spring compressed with no force to keep it compressed, all because of your pathetic demand?
Or do they do what logic dictates they must, the spring expands, pushing the 2 blocks apart, with the blocks then continuing on their way once they lose contact with the spring?
We have zero proof that this speed is maintained because it's happening offscreen. We have zero proof that when it started to angle left or right, as you see in EVERY space mission that doesn't blow up, that they didn't in fact fly to some unpopulated area instead.
Considering all the objects in space, sending back photos of Earth, providing GPS, providing internet and TV, and that you can see the ISS, I would say there is plenty of proof.
Conversely, where is anything to support your baseless claims? No where.
Remember, the goal of any system is to make profit.
No, it isn't.
Just because you crave money doesn't mean everyone does.
The space race was basically a contest to try to prove their were better than their rivals, with no concern for profit.
Remember, the government can just put money into a black budget which then no one gets to find out about.
Much easier to get lots of money than trying to fake going to space.
oh look, the parabola
No, the curvature.
Almost as though we are expected to believe it can go up by going left (and down). Look at it. It heads left and down
No, as if intelligent people understand that it isn't just going up, it is going into an orbit.
Because it is going into an orbit, it will need to travel sideways. And as it does so, the curvature of Earth will make it appear to be going down.
This is the madness that plagues little minds of RE ppl.
No, this is the madness that plagues little minds of FEers that wish to reject reality because they don't comprehend quite basic things.
Where did you get that from that?
So you have all the observations on hand to demonstrate open heart surgery? No looking it up, no trysting other sources.
Open heart surgery can be seen, and yield results identical to an animal and a person.
Clearly a fake video, and not something you have on hand.
Why should we believe this video, but not the video above which showed the rocket in space?
Because this video doesn't contradict your delusional fantasy, while the other one does?
Not good enough.
So let's look at this video again.
Unless you want to specify a certain point in it, with a timestamp, NO, as it is dishonest BS as already explained.
You not understanding how rockets work, and wanting to pretend they should work like a fan, doesn't mean they don't work.
