My heart is taken it’s not lost in space
And I don’t want to see your mooney mooney face
I say why on earth do you revolve around me
Aren’t you aware of the gravity
Don’t need another satellite
-XTC Another Satellite
And all the world is football-shaped
It’s just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I’ve got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
-XTC Senses Working Overtime

I can relate to Zathras a lot.
January 13, 1920 NYT editorial :
“.. After the rocket quits our air and really starts on its longer journey [to the moon], its flight would be neither accelerated not maintained by the [proposed by Goddard solid rocket based on] explosion of the charges ... To claim that it would be is to deny a fundamental law of dynamics, and only Dr. Einstein and his chosen dozen, so few and fit, are licensed to do that.
... That Professor Goddard with his “chair” in Clark College and the countenancing of the Smithsonian Institution, does not know the relation of action and reaction, and of the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react — to say that would be absurd. Of course he only seems to lack the knowledge ladled out daily in high schools.
... As it happens, Jules Verne, who also knew a thing or two in assorted sciences ... deliberately seemed to make the same mistake that Professor Goddard seems to make. For the Frenchman, having get his travellers to or toward the moon into the desperate fix of riding a tiny satellite of the satellite, saved them from circling it forever by means of explosion, rocket fashion, where an explosion would not have had in the slightest degree the effect of releasing them from their dreadful slavery. That was one of Verne’s few scientific slips, or else it was a deliberate step aside from scientific accuracy, pardonable enough in him as a romancer, but its like is not so easily explained when made by a savant who isn’t writing a novel of adventure.”
“Fly me to the moon,
Let me play among the stars…”
Sinatra
you think they would understand “parallax angle of one second?” they think the ”sec” part must have something to do with time.
Elvis as Han Solo (Video link from Post 46) is disturbing on so many levels. Ha ha
Elvis needs to control his weapon better.
