Orbiting 357 kilometers above Massachusetts in the United States, Robinson rode the station’s Canadarm 2 robot arm to two places where pieces of ceramic-coated gap filler fabric protruded from between Discovery’s heat-shield tiles. With gloved fingers, he gently tugged the protrusions until they came out.
Quote:
“This particular subject is not well understood because nobody else flies in these machines,” ... “Nobody else flies mach 22 [22 times the speed of sound] at 216,000 feet [65.8 kilometers],” he added, “ ... the only data we’ve got comes from the shuttle and that’s all there is in the world.”
This is during re-entry when the proof of the gap filler would really have to be in the pudding. The reason for this particular statement is that Columbia started to break up around 40 miles... or 211,200 ft.

There's either a profound lack of reading comprehension going on here, or I'm going to join with the chorus calling Troll...

Umm, sorry David, but the NASA site made a typo.

The Earth - Moon distance, as has already been pointed out by several posters, is 240,000 miles, and the L1 Lagrangian is 84% of that distance from the Earth to the Moon (the Moon having 16% of the Earth's gravity), which corresponds to 201,600 miles. Of course this distance varies a bit, as the Earth - Moon distance varies, due to the fact that the Moon's orbit is elliptical, not circular.

Doesn't the LaGrange point depend on orbital velocity also? I think what you've calculated is where the gravitational field would have zero accelaration if both bodies were standing still (which they wouldn't do for very long). I think the L1 point would be closer to Earth than your figure.

BTW Has DJJ actually cited a NASA site yet or is it still a second or third hand reference?

Why do you think you are above the rules of common decency and respect and proper debate or discussion. you don't get points for FRAUD
I have asked you for evidence evidence of me doing any of the above and you have not provided any.

You have said I am lying and suggested that I have engaged in FRAUD.

Will please either supply such evidence or apologize to me?

I really don't care what your "beliefs" are but from the responses from others in this thread they don't seem be be gaining any credibity. I don't have any wish to shut you down as I find great amusement in what you have to say. As has been said many times on the sci.skeptic group on Newsnet about "reality challenged" posters -- "If we don't engage them here, they will be out bothering people in the real world".

I agree. But Djj indicates that he has misinterpreted this quote as being the operational altitude of the shuttle in orbit. But this is a perfect example of the way he thinks. Any time he finds a number that he likes he tries to attribute some significance to it. Of course, he doesn't even need to find his magic numbers because he can round up or down anything remotely near the magic value and say "it's close enough". But where is the significance of the shuttle orbiting at 1/5280th the distance to the Earth/moon Lagrange point? And as Wollery and I have pointed out, neither of these values is correct anyway. It seems that any two or more metrics are suitable for a magical ratio. You could have inches to kilograms, miles to hours, liters to degrees C etc. I get the sense that Djj would argue it was proof of God if he took a drive and stopped about 40.9 miles from his house to pee at a rest stop.

The maths is pretty complex, not least because you're dealing with an elliptical orbit, and if you're going to do it properly you also need to take into account the Sun's gravitational influence. Most sites I've looked at give values between 199,000 and 202,000 miles, depending on what values they take, what sort of orbit the assume, and which method of calculation they use. The above value is a back of the envolope calculation of the instantaneous value for the zero-g point at mean Moon distance.

The main point is, it's a lot less than 216,000 miles.

Yes. But until you accept the ancient secret mysteries of Phi, I can't tell you.

Differential gravity acting on the water that makes up the oceans. The pull on the nearside of the Earth draws the water away from the Earth, whilst the lower gravitational influence on the far side means the Earth (which has a centre of mass nearer to the Moon) is pulled towards the Moon more strongly, leaving the water trailing (and thus bulging). The Earth rotates within the tidal bulges, which is what leads to the rise and fall of the tide levels. The Sun has an equivalent, but smaller, effect, which leads to spring tides at full and new Moon, and neap tides at half Moon.

Also added to this is the motion of the earth and moon around a common center of gravity causing the water on the far side to be thrown out.

Tides can be confusing can't they?

The Earth and it's oceans would be a sphere if there were no outside influence, agreed? Imagine then, putting the Moon where it is. The Earth is 8,000 miles across. That means the side of the Earth closer to the Moon is going to be "pulled on" harder than the part further away. So the side closest to the Moon is displaced towards the Moon. The center of the Earth is also displaced towards the Moon but a bit less. And the oceans on the far side from the Moon are pulled even less. This leads to stretching.

So when looking at a drawing of tides it seems counter intuitive that the Moon would raise tides on opposite sides of the Earth. But it's more accurate to think that the Earth is being pulled out from under the ocean on one side of the Earth.

ETA: I see I'm too slow today.

This effect does exist, but is minute compared to the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun.

ETA Sorry, just to clarify, the barycentre of the Earth Moon system is well within the Earth, and it's orbital period is ~28 days, so the centripetal acceleration is very small.

Darn Wolley, now you are saying NASA made a typo... and using fluctuation variation as I did before, and yet I got condemned for saying such.

Whatever, an amzingly FIND I saw was the fluctuation orbits of the earth and Moon as the Earth is cojoined to the MOON it seems. And I shant go further on that topic as it is part of the Sexual Mysteries, and the Earth is attracted to the SUN when the Moon is away from the earth. Wheres that graphic...... the perfect orbit of the Earth around the SUN does not exist as there is b*** center. You must know about it, as gravitational forces of the Earth and Moon with the Sun/Son make its pathway orbit a point outside their masses. Hmm maybe this is why there is that gravitational gap between the Earth and ther Moon exists. Just compare the masses of the Moon and earth, and then see if that ratio is the same ratio of 240,000 with 216,00 or vice versa with 26,000. Check it out and I will try to get that link for you, but I'm sure you must have studied it previously. The wobble pathway of the earth, YES, but the cojoined Earth Moon Masses together make a perfect circle... amazing, which means the future cojoining would be ........

The problem DJJ is that when you cited numbers they were so wrong they were outside of "fluctuation and variance". In simpler language, your numbers were never correct.

There are no perfect circles in evidence.

Mass of Moon to earth is ... Mass: 0.012 (Earth=1)

But 24,000/240,000 is 1 to 1o or .1 not .012, so there must be another reason... but it is interesting that 24,000 miles is one tenth of 240,000 miles. Maybe we can store that ionformation and it will be connected further later.

Masses have to be considered, and cojoined masses even more so.... even if there is distance between them , I would think. But you are the expert Wolley, go for it. Connect up the dots and put them on line on a web site, It might be truly inspiring.

Yuppy we must get to the perfect exact Platonic solids, that were hypothesised by Platon and yet just recently have all been found in real life, because real biology by DESIGN has to folow the laws of geometry and balance.

Maybe I shall have to start a thread on these Platonic solids to show more geometric truths.

And see above as I search again for that perfcet cicle via the bary center of the cojoined earth and Moon... and even give you a scripture that might be a little too graphic for the faint of heart concerning sowing in the Earth.

I love perfection and exactness when we finnally find it, as the Lord is always exact and balanced and harmonic. Thats what true scientist do they look for patterns and exactness as laws of the Creator are exact once we find the exact equation and equations.

for that is the point of http://www.geocities.com/davidjayjor...arofDavid.html

Once I get it proof read HERE and elsewhere...

You're making the mistake of taking rounded up (or down) mean values as exact values then wondering why you can't make the maths work.

Also it's not significant that it's a tenth, if it'd been a third, a quarter, a twenty-third, you'd have claimed that it had some meaning.

Talk about an over active (mind?) looking for patterns anywhere and everywhere, I can see DJJ now walking around in the desert looking for patterns in the stones laying around and given them some hidden meaning to a big plan of a so-called god. He is one big sick puppy and needs way more help then we can ever give him, anyone have some de-worming medicine.

Von Braun knew of 216,000 miles as well

Wolley and ALL, Both NASA and Von Braun agree that the neutral point between the earth and the Moon is 216,000

SEE http://www.fixedearth.com/tides.htm

And the bibliogrpahy afterwards.. So NASA didnt make a typo, Wolley

And 216,000 miles from earth is the exact point in other words where the barycenter (might be speeled bery center, lost that hyperlink) must be located to make that exact center revolve around the Sun, or **********

this is hwy this berry center exactly 216,000 miles away from the Earth, revolves in an exact circle around the SUN...why because the Earth and Moon are cojoined and gravitationally must act as one at the bery center,
hence allowing the MOON to revolve around the Earth while their berry center continues in a perfcet circle around the Sun at exactly 216,000 miles away from the earth.

Whewee, don't you just love it when things and concepts CUM together like the Earth and the Moon. And to think calling down the Moon by the ancients was of course devoid, because of their source. But you will balk at that, so lets keep to science and the amazing 216,000 mile distance....

Oh, here is a question for Davidjayjordan, (the seeker of patterns that are not there), are the astronauts that are in orbit in a gravity field or not.

And the bibliogrpahy afterwards.. So NASA didnt make a typo, Wolley

And 216,000 miles from earth is the exact point in other words where the barycenter (might be speeled bery center, lost that hyperlink) must be located to make that exact center revolve around the Sun, or **********

this is hwy this berry center exactly 216,000 miles away from the Earth, revolves in an exact circle around the SUN...why because the Earth and Moon are cojoined and gravitationally must act as one at the bery center,
hence allowing the MOON to revolve around the Earth while their berry center continues in a perfcet circle around the Sun at exactly 216,000 miles away from the earth.

Whewee, don't you just love it when things and concepts CUM together like the Earth and the Moon. And to think calling down the Moon by the ancients was of course devoid, because of their source. But you will balk at that, so lets keep to science and the amazing 216,000 mile distance....
Sorry, but that is not correct. They barycenter of the earth/moon system is actually below the surface of the earth. And the orbit of the barycenter of the earth/moon system around the sun is not a perfect circle, but is eliptical, albeit with a low eccentricity.

Djj, why is the mile so goddamn special?

Why is decimal system so goddamn special?

Do you understand the fundamental issue we have with taking arbitrary HUMAN measuring systems and claiming they have divine providence?

Try reworking your numerology with something more basic, like Plank's constant and binary. (Binary form being the least complex system that is perfectly sufficient for the transmission of any information and hence I will reason as being divine for the purposes of this discussion.)

If you believe something, you should be able to explain the belief. You know, with words. Also, it should be easier to do this in a discussion because people will be asking you questions and getting you to clairify unclear statements.

Yes, one should be able to do that. It is clear that that clarification is not occurring. However, while the lack of clarification could be troll activity, it also could just be the result of difficulty processing language. In general, that difficulty might come from a person's educational background, organic problems (dyslexia or mild aphasia), or even certain types of mental illness (I stress "might"). I suppose willful ignorance is another possibility.

As I said before, Djj has several web pages that match his posting style and those pages predate his appearance here. I am willing to ascribe some of the statements not related to numerology and angels to troll activity, but the core of his beliefs appear to me to be deeply-held opinions.

Djj, I find the language you used in post #381 to be inappropriate for a science discussion. As a poster (not an administrator, not a moderator), I ask you to focus on the matter being discussed.

Even though I am nicely tempted in viewing your cross, or its lovely placement in your pic, i do have to come back and remember other ratios like 1 to 10, or better yet 1 to 11, because HERE we are not allowed to post 1 on 1, if you know what I mean.

My sincerist apologies was it a mention of sexual mysteries that concern phi or the placement of the planets or the union of earth and moon as HERE, and its union and correspondances with scripture.

Darn, and now you will probably say I shouldn;t have mentioned the cross placement on trimble, its only a pic, Lade.

But seeing my reporting of ovbvious violations and the lack of apologies when I have been called everything under the Sun have apparrently gone unnoticed, I think my apology is sufficvient here,

SEE I checked myself in the above posting. It's inuendo, vause I just elude to s mysteries without offending real adults.

But if Timble is offended I shall remove my post from above.

Darn, why do you now ask for apologies after all that was done to me, wehn we are NOW making progress and finding out about 216. Your timing is uspect or is it because you dislike connections.. Whoops there's possibly another innuinendo, even if I misspell it.

For the sincere researchers among us, Heres that hyperlink I mentioned in a past POST about the exact circle of the Earth and Moon conjoined.

And so sorry about the word conJOINED because that is in truth what it appears to be, the center of mass of two masses moving in an exact circle 216,000 miles from Earth, revolving around the Sun/Son.

That says that the earth's orbit is an elipse perturbed by the moon. Not a perfect circle. In fact, the word circle is only mentioned once in that page, refering to the earth's equator.

DJJ, I'm having trouble finding anything in that link that supports your claims. Can you point out whatever parts you found interesting?

Also, by what freakish application of physics and mathematics do yo expect to find the center of mass for two objects to be closer to the less massive?

DJ has no functional understanding of gravity or force, No real understanding of the golden section and related except a numerology related one and is clearly inept at religion and its' concepts. Like litelife and related he puts words together in seemingly related ways and quotes others in ways that show he does not understand what they are actually saying and shows no comprehension of his errors when they are handed to him on a platter. By my personal definition, he is wasting space with pointless statements on many threads - i.e. I consider him to be trolling - whether he believes his spewings or not, therefore, I keep putting out DFTT notes - and keep running into him or his leavings.

DJ,

You have a serious problem. You do not have a job, your a proclaimed missionary without a church, so therefore have devoted your life to your misbeliefs. When people show the fundamental errors in your beliefs you can not accept this, because it will invalidate what you have spent your entire life working towards.

Quit posting responses, it will only cause you to face the reality of your beliefs.....

But if you do post again, as least have the courtesy to check your spelling, reading anything you post gives me a headache

I've just discovered some other important numbers you should look in to. 16,000 is one tenth of 160,000. 430,000 is one tenth of 4,320,000. AND... 66.6 is ONE TENTH of 666. But the one that could change the world is... 2.580697580112788 is ONE TENTH of 25.80697580112788- which is the square root of 666!!

I suspect you've all been had. Either that or he's a mental institution escapee. You do realize, so far, he's hit probably practically every single base of silly crap, and he's still generating serious, respectful responses. Do the right thing.

1) Vote for Lisa to be dunked for JMercer's poor judgement as a moderator.

2) Respond to his garbage with the same respect he does yours, like I have in another thread he started.

Or, you could just look even more foolish by taking this seriously.
