90% of my post was on NEAs and delta vee. This was the part you chose to snip. I have no interest in discussing what is and isn't ad hominem.

And yet you did.

No doubt, though nowhere near as much as almost anything that Eric Chomko (and others) post as a matter of course.


And who might these others be?

(Scanning the ng...) Ah. "First Cosmonaut Yury Gagarin Proposed Reconstruction Of The Church Of Christ The Saviour"

Well, that was't necessarily the "others" to whom I was referring. I was leaving them unnamed to protect the guilty.
