Phil’s information is wrong astronomer??

Phil is such a nincompoop he has no idea of what science really is , he makes constant mistakes that an astronomer should know . he is a retarded idiot pretending to be important , he doesn’t even work !!

Phil why don’t you grow up and correct your mistakes instead of deleting my comments …

I’ve been going through your posts and well your really making some minor mistakes!
Are you sure your an astronomer? you should know the facts. Your post here has some wrong info and your video about the asteroid .. well you made some distance related mistakes .

Also some other tidbits like when you were explaining some important facts well.. are you sure your an astronomer? your info is very wrong on alot of your posts.

your degrading astronomy . Maybe you should not be in the debunking astronomy business.

I was wondering at what point in the launch can I feel the shuttle has made it safely into orbit? As I watched last night’s launch I think it might be around 10 minutes, but I wonder what event called out by the astronauts or ground control says they made and I can relax. I still get nervous around “go for throttle up.”

Just woke up… we went to the KSC visitors’ center last night to watch the launch. Most impressive… well, except for the thick layer of clouds over Central Florida. We got to see the false dawn and the giant plume of flame and then… just as it cleared the tree line it disappeared behind a wall of cloud. Couldn’t even see the glow any longer. Sigh… We stood just to the right of the astronaut memorial wall, about halfway up the ramp.

However, that being said, ’twas my first launch viewing and I was still very excited and happy to just be there. Our crappy video of the launch is on my blog. Not much to see but the light show. I think I got a slightly better view through my binocs than hubby did through the camera.

Go Endeavour!
