bigbrain and sockpuppets:
What is this?
If you don't answer, you will have shown yourself (yourselves?) to be a gullible guy, a buffoon, and completely confuted. Again.

Your blue sky has "stars" (plural) in it. Got any photo evidence of that, other than our own sun? How about you taking a zoom in shot of a full moon on a clear night that shows the moon in good exposure. Let's see how many stars YOU get in the photo. I reckon next to none will show up. (that's from photography 101, remember?) |

Big NASA Buffoons had to steer Cassini along this grey trajectory. Since the probe as an insignificant mass, gravity of the sun is insignificant.
However it's the same that the probe would have after the two turns round the sun.

Thank you. You said:

That about wraps it up. Of course, one wonders why you just didn't launch your probe in a direct line rather than the curve - it would get you there faster. You would fly a littlecloser to the sun, but the sun's gravity is insignificant, correct?
Now to the second question (which you again avoided): are there man-made satellites in orbit right now? |

I think what the beezer really wants to see is stars. As his understanding of orbital mechanics and photography is even more abyssmal than mine, I thought I'd satisfy his monomanical craving for bright points of light.
Here ya go pal, just for you!
No, no, don't bother to thank me. Happy to oblige....
Now then, if you hunger for more, go here, and then this part of the site will clue you in on the rest of it.
A caveat: Be very careful with this site. You might find yourself learning something.

Beezer ???
I don't care of stars. I want to talk only about Cassini - Huygens Mission Hoax.

Correct, the mass of Cassini is insignificant. Therefore Cassini could go in a direct line to Saturn.
But BNB have not technology to steer a probe to Saturn because they can't represent on their screens the location of Saturn and of the probe and their mutual position.

Ok, you don't, or so you say, but others might. However, if you want to talk about Cassini-Huygens, you are going to have to come up with something besides silly, unsupported claims and accusations.
But before you discuss it further, I suggest that you first inform yourself. Thus far, you've yet to come up with anything that any other than another ignoramus would accept.

Nevermind that another great Italian demonstrated that all objects, regardless of mass, fall at the same rate in a gravitational field. bigbrain obviously doesn't think much of his dead countrymen.
By the way, are there man-made satellites in Earth orbit? |

So, you now admit your first attempt at a diagram was grossly incorrect and would have wasted many days. You aren't very rigourous, are you? You have now made the same mistake you accuse the world's space agencies of making.
Now, how about them satellites? |

BbBBbbBbBBB is right - this is revolutionary. That is why dust just floats around in the air, you see it has a small mass, so gravity does not affect it much.
I feel so stupid - I thought all along that it was a function of volume VS surface area. Duhhhh

You don't understand very much, you are like children.
Gravity of the sun becomes important when the object has a large mass, when it's near the sun and when has a low velocity
Since Cassini has an insignificant mass, goes far from the sun and can run to Saturn at 75,000 miles per hour, BNB (Big NASA Buffoons) with their PMJ (Patented Magic Joystick) must only give smallest corrections while the probe runs towards Saturn in a direct line.

| Bigbrain, try to grasp some of the basic Newtonian principles. They have been around since the late 17th century. |

Years ago, my family was asked to keep a parrot, an amazon parrot, over a winter -- I've forgotten the reason the bird's owners couldn't keep it. It was a pretty remarkable animal. It would talk and cackle and whistle, and it was entirely charming. It often recieved comments on how bright it was; "almost human" was sometimes said of it.
Well, it was a pretty smart, indeed clever bird, I admit. But y'know, for all of it's conversation, it always said the same things and in context, it was all gibberish because it hadn't the faintest idea of what it was talking about.
It also shat a lot.
So babble, do you see the parallel here?

Big Brain,
Perhaps Dave or someone else can figure out how many times you've avoided this question.
Stop being a friggin' coward.
Are there any man-made satellites in orbit around the Earth right now? |

"What? Oh, oh, 'just rebuild it'? Oh, real [bleep]ing original. And who's gonna give me a loan, jackhole? You? You got an ATM on that torso LiteBrite?" |
