My calcs show this to have .112g on the inside surface. I'd weigh 20lbs. Less than the Moon, where I'd weigh 29lbs.

The article talks a lot, but gets into some numbers down near the end. It's a pity that after all that business about "could it be...

Oof. I am becoming skeptical that a hand-drawn illustration will capture the details - I would have to intuit what dimensions can be...

OK, I am hoping that you will intuit that, for a given speed, a shorter time spent in retrograde would result in a smaller observed...

Yes, you did mention that. Altough surely the magnitude is affected by the relative velocities because they affect when, in their...

Are you accounting for Earth's peri/aphelion at the times of opposition? (green arrows in diagram) For example, if Earth happens to be...

Well now I want an app that will tell me what category I fall into, just by saying yea or nay to a list of music. I have always...

No problem here. If you offended me, my skin was too thick to notice.

Thanks for that. As I said above, my request to have it moved was reactionary - based on what I was reading, not pro-actionary. I...

Yes. If that mistake is of a general form (applies to more than just an indiviual) you;vde just wipred out youe entire expedition and...

Mechanics. A clockwork machine. Not AI. Doesn't learn, adapt, adjust its parameters organically, based on complex input. What is a...

Yes. A sprinkle of AI dust solves all problems. And in my lifetime, no less. I note that you still have not connected a single dot...
