If you're speaking to your reflection, I agree completely.

Back to altitude of geosynchronous orbits. Who was the first to calculate it? Do you still believe it's Arthur C. Clarke? Or Herman Potočnik?

You've struck out on two attempts to refute my claims.

Yes, Tyson did falsely accuse Bush of delivering a xenophobic post 9-11 speech attempting to distinguish Christians from Muslims.

Yes, Tyson was incorrect when he said Arthur C. Clarke was first to calculate altitude of geosynchronous orbits.

I can't believe this guy is allowed to continue hijacking this thread with his clear agenda.

I have seen some strange birds here on CD but this one takes the cake.

Indeed. That was news to me as well.

And I admit that I had thought bats had poor eyesight. Can't really fault Neil for that.

But there's a bunch of his flubs that most reasonably educated people should have caught. That people put this guy on a pedestal is good evidence Americans are scientifically illiterate.

Will post my list again:

This thread seems to have left the realm of Religion & Spirituality (Remember? That's the topic of this forum.) and ended up in the area of bashing astrophysicists.
