just suppose

just watching a program on inertial guidance systems, yeah I know Im sad

anyway, it occurs to me, in the abscence of gravity ie in alledged space flight, where are the points of reference for navigation.

no magnetic field no gravitational fields, it baffles logic, and dont say a gyro because thats crap.

A tragectory from the sun is taken to the galaxy known as ......The conveyor Belt ..Like Orion`s but different

 

[WDIK]

you know I forgot to mention that option, how stupid of me durhhhh

 

[Thermo]

navigate by the stars?

 

[WDIK]

dont think so, you need a fixed point of reference dont you?

 

[oompah]

The sun can't get more fixed than that surely.

 

[Nige F]

They don`t navigate , they use the gravitational pull of a planet and orbiting it ...like a slingshot effect..

 

[WDIK]

which planet?

 

[WDIK]

the sun maybe static but has an X Y & Z AXIS your call

Watch the first half hour of the movie Stargate. That explains it - I think

 

[BingoBongo]

we cant go to space its all a hoax and they are lording it about area 51 on a film set with elvis and jimmy hoffa

In space you steer a straight line towards where you think the object will be in six months time (eg mars) then send a signal 8 hrs before you want the spacecraft to start braking and maneuvering (takes that long for the r/f to reach the spacecraft) and don't confuse meters with feet.
Sorta like trying to teach a women how to park, but far less complicated.

The moon pulls millions of tons of water every day so there is some gravitational pull there!

Its still a fixed point.

correct indeed.

whats the van allan belt then?

it's an intense band of sola radiation that's between us and the moon.. and exatly the reason that they can't have sent men to the moon.. to fly through it without several feet of lead shielding would lead to a lethal dose of radiation.. the spacemen would have all died within weeks of getting back to earth..
