As for the alleged "failure" of GR in the other planet's perihelion precessions, I'm looking for the current best estimates, but the fact remains that because of the smaller effects and smaller eccentricities it is very difficult (especially with Venus) to verify this. But I'm sure it has been done. Hint: Do not cite the "works" of Santagata in this context; they are absolute rubbish.

Here ya go CM. As usual, Jerry is making objections to GR without knowing whereof he speaks.
