All I am saying is that there are many here that can assist you in gaining the knowledge you lack, and offer up such if you decided to accept the help instead of denying it. By refusing said assistance in favor of continuing with purposeful ignorance you do no one (including yourself) any favors and will eventually drive away those with the data you need. By denying the moon landings you present the face of conspiracy theory and make yourself seem very foolish so no one of quality education or knowledge is likely to take you seriously. You have admitted to the "No straight lines" error which means there is a bit of hope....now admit this is real:
I'll readily accept wisdom and knowledge from a wise man, and be grateful for it; but I'm contemptuous of agenda-driven charlatans who try to fool me, and I'm smart enough to know the difference when the evidence is presented, trust me on that. 'Parker is finding out how the sun works without melting' ffs? Let me ask you one last question - do you believe it is a current 'mission'? Yes or no will do.
YES....as I am familiar (relatively) with material science and heat shielding. The Parker Solar Probe has been designed to withstand the extreme conditions and temperature fluctuations for the mission. The key lies in its custom heat shield and an autonomous system that helps protect the mission from the Sun's intense light emission, but does allow the coronal material to “touch” the spacecraft
Sure. Idolize some heretic from the back waters of Britain circa 1300. Leave it to the Brits to be obstreperous. Ref.: Sean Connery, In The Name of The Rose, as William von Baskerville circa 1327 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091605/characters/nm0000125?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t1 Don't be referencing any such as William of Ockham without reference to what he really was. Not Of Rome Or the RINO of his time. Rome In Name Only. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_of_Ockham And had he thrived closer to Rome, should have been managed in a more efficient means. Some one always said something congenial to what support one seeks. And beware a reply that "Hitler did it". Thus spaketh Moi
Yes, that is interesting, isn't it? The solar probe has serious shielding and hardening. If it fails early due to radiation, that in itself would be a significant discovery - a discovery that solar radiation is way more than has been measured so far. I really doubt astrophysicists are that monumentally wrong about the composition and intensity of solar radiation. But, who knows? That IS what the probe is going there to figure out. Sending a probe to orbit Mercury is seriously hard - harder than going to most other planets, even though it isn't far away. But, there is no reason to believe it can't be done. I like that Japan and Europe are working together so closely on this. They are actually attaching their two probes together to be launched on one rocket. Then, when it finally arrives at Mercury one probe will enter a low orbit and the other will take a high orbit, each studying different aspects of that planet.
That could be a copy-and-paste straight out of the pages of 'SPACE-BABBLE MONTHLY' magazine (all advertising gratefully accepted in this journal to augment lavish government 'research' funding). lol As to the preposterous content ('heat shield' Do you have any idea how hot the sun is? I mean, the heat shield might survive 'the coronal material', but what's behind it won't. But I digress, and am wearying of this mumbo jumbo anyway). So I suppose we'll know whether it was a success in a few years time won't we? (if we haven't forgotten about it! ). But stay, neither of us will know - we'll just have to read whatever NASA publishes, then choose whether to believe it or not with zero tangible evidence to help us unto a conclusion. Bottom line, squire? None of us can prove nor disprove whatever they announce, can we, so I guess it's all down to our gullibility quotient, right??!! I'm going to hazard a guess about you, tecoyah - you either work for NASA in some capacity (probably PR), or have a personal interest in posting this utter nonsense for gain. But whichever it is, I've tired of reading your drivel so I'm going to 'run away' by putting you on ignore. I wish you well in your career with the North American Space Agency, and I reckon you deserve every dollar they pay you. And I'll leave you with this thought: (no need to thank me. Nor reply because I won't see it) ‘Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they'll believe it.’ So keep up the good work!
Will - please . . . wake up and smell it, there's a good chap?? Your self-respect will be so much better for it.
C,early my earlier attempt to assist you in becoming a more stable and accepted member here was misdirected and futile, so instead I will go back to using you as an entertainment piece. Good Luck.
A spider hanging from a thread forms a straight line. Rain falling comes straight down from the clouds when there is no wind. Even the beer that Cerberus spills falls in a straight line.
a vid, showing both 'spoons' on mars: it shows, aka proves, strange anomalies, occur in nature, and they aren't singular occurrences... there were two such 'spoons' near eachother, here's a vid of the rover passing over the terrain:
That's okay, just write me off as a troll. But I assure you I'm not - I'm just posting what you don't want to hear/read; my posts have forced you to doubt yourself.
