Well, back when they were first trying to land Mars probes, I wrote to
Daniel Golden, who was head of NASA, telling him that I thought they
were having problems because the length contraction did not give them
the correct distance, which it was important to have at the range they
were trying to land the Mars probes. �Mr. Golden wrote me a lengthy
letter in which he defended the Lorentz equations, but scientists at
NASA may have made some adjustment with regard to distance because
they began to be successful after that. �I would prefer to see them
land successfully, considering the cost of these things.
This is overwhelming stupid... Did you even check if relatistic effects
are to be taken in account on such trips ?
I have to add a hypothesis to your case (not mutually exclusive) :
- insanity
- senility
- hypocrisy

Well, in a way I did check. �When Mr. Goldin answered my letter with a
lengthy defense of the Lorentz equations, I pretty much considered my
suspicions confirmed. �At any rate, the next Mars landing was
successful.
Daniel Golden became head of NASA in 1992, long after the first
successful Mars landings, Viking 1 and 2, in 1976.

Robert, NASA did quite well without you. Please do not waste their
time like that again.

The ones they were crashing took place in the late 1980's.

And there was no reason for you to waste their time. If you did get
a response from Golden, then he was a bit naive. It just fed your
delusions.

Goldin, Bryan, Daniel Goldin. Goldin did seem somewhat naive about
the Lorentz equations. However he was worried about all of these 100
million dollar Mars probes crashing. I could tell that from his
response. Actually, Goldin wrote a very good response compared to
most responses we see in this newsgroup. I do not know if he took my
advice to recheck the distance that was being calculated, but the next
Mars probe landed successfully.
