” ..I’m not worried...”

Because you have a brain, and use it.

You know, there is no such thing as a satellite that knows its own altitude within 7 cm.

So, this measurement is crap. Probably orbital decay of the satellite.

I wonder why that graph doesn’t start at zero.
(note: 70mm = 2.75 inches)

I am waiting for someone to claim that you can measure the altitude of a satellite, within 7 cm, with 99.999999999999% certainty, or some such.

(You need the silly number of decimals, because the distance from orbit to the sea is BIG)

I will LMAO. Not even possible. Nobody has a clock that good.

An excellent point; at what altitude do these satellites orbit?

In this case, I have no idea.

How does “way up yonder” sound?

I am so gullible. When all this sea-rise bunk started, I purchased inexpensive property between 1/4 and 1/2 mile from the ocean, hoping it would become ocean front property. I guess I got caught holding the bag. (just kidding)

I live in Iowa. When the surf comes up in Omaha, I'll start to worry. :-)
