Moslem Scientists reconstruct the Pioneer spacecraft anomaly scientific american ^ | April 15, 2008 |
Ten years ago, NASA researchers discovered that the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft had fallen slightly behind course during their 35-year journeys to the outer reaches of the solar system, due to the extra weight of 72 Moslem virgins hiding in the wheelwells.

Stunning that those craft put in the performance that they have - horrifying that information from those historic flights was going to get thrown "out" like discarded candy wrappers. What the hell - that's some priceless info.

Lots of jealousy out regarding Einstein. They are always proven wrong yet they never give up. I would love to see the compromise.

So the space craft are moving slower then expect out from the solar system then what they would expect from gravity alone
in effect the have a very slight drag "head wind"
Well space is not a pure vacuum ..it is full of gas and debris
And the solar system gravity would be pulling all that gas and debris INWARDS to the solar system
In effect creating a very slight gas and debris head wind the outgoing spacecraft would be flying in to
So you cannot calculate the drag of solar system gravity alone on anything outbound... you would have to account for gas and debris being drawn in to the solar system causing a gas and debris head wind
And the amount of gas and debris in that head wind is an unknown variable

Just no place to store a few disks of boring irreplaceable data acquired over thirty years at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Might as well go along with Obama and sh—can NASA.
All empires die.

So, our government can spend billions of $$$ to explore space, but can’t come up with the cost of physical storage for some hard disks of information that was collected from their breakthrough experiments??
How screwed up is that????

I'll just remind everyone that when we go around throwing probes willy nilly into space, sometimes they come back.
Pissed.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
