re: NASA sets tentative launch date for Artemis 1 - August 29, 2022

It was earlier than that! I worked SLS for 3 years...

Naaaaah, will establish settlements, then give out Sec. 8 vouchers and ruin the place

Thank you. I'm gonna look more into eclipses using this site. NASA, surprise surprise, does not give good info. The most informative eclipse resources seem to be astrology sites, that show plenty of daytime historical lunar eclipses. But I have a feeling you won't accept them.

Why is NASA using the SpaceX Starship as the lunar landing vehicle. Why not just contract SpaceX to conduct the entire mission since they’re already going to be sending several Starships to the moon anyway?

---

NASA is using Starship for two reasons:
1) SpaceX’s demonstrated track record in delivering vehicles at a reasonable price
2) Starship has the potential to transport and return significantly more mass than any other vehicle

Regarding your second question - because there are so many special interests involved in keeping SLS alive. Congress is using it as a jobs program for their districts. If one was to look at it objectively, Starship would be the slam dunk choice. The cost to launch Starship is a fraction of SLS, and is reusable, whereas SLS isn’t. In addition, SLS requires the use of the lunar gateway (even more $), while Starship should be able to fly directly to the lunar surface. Another example of Congress wasting billions of taxpayer $’s.

There’s also conjecture that the administration is slow walking approval of the Starship launch simply to make SLS look better.

This eclipsed definitely happened, not according to the math but to the witnesses. An organization can say one occurred or didn't, they could conceivably use derived functions that would accurately predict them in the short term but incorrect historically. It's something I've got to dive into and cross check with archives

Instead of hunting for a totally believable eyewitness account of an impossible event, you could probably save yourself a lot of time by learning basic geometry so that you can recognize nonsense as nonsense.

You sure? Because if you do then it should be easy to prove to yourself that the earth is a sphere.

Applied geometry does not. No sir

Yes sir, it does.

A geometrical proof on paper can be perfectly valid. That does not make it the truth of the physical nature of the universe.

I'm talking about taking real measurements yourself and working out solutions.

I understand that you would totally believe an eyewitness account from hundreds of years ago of an impossible event as gospel, but that you wouldn't believe an eyewitness account from someone alive today that you can speak to, so there may be some travel involved for you.

As I suggested earlier, you yourself can measure shadows at two different latitudes at solar noon at the same time of year, and work out a presumed altitude of the sun. Then do it a third time, preferably north of the 45th parallel to minimize your error, and then figure out why you measure a different altitude for the sun. There is only one conclusion to be drawn.

You can also visit the lower latitudes on opposite sides of your flat earth map, and verify yourself that you can indeed see the same set of stars rotating about the same point in the sky at both locations. You can also verify yourself that they are not shifting in a manner that would allow them to be seen from the other side only hours later in the exact opposite "south" direction. Again, there is only one conclusion to be drawn from this.

Yes. Like the geometry of a sphere with real world measurements and observations. Yes! That's what I've advocated for from the beginning. Get to it.

Done. I've taken my own measurements in the past, and they are in agreement with measurements taken by others. Turns out the earth is, in fact, a sphere. Basic geometry proves that our observed measurements cannot be reproduced on a flat surface.

If only you would do the same, what you advocate for.
