Your last posting disqualifies you in every aspect. You are a troll and I will not comment on anything following by you if it doesn't contain something substantial and not just wild speculation.

I doubt there are many Concorde blueprints around. Can you show me all? I'm pretty sure, they've been also put on microfilm. You didn't do any homework. Quote:

Also, prove that it was really the only flight without the arm. I'm sure there were several. Don't craft "facts" to fit your speculations. Bye, bye.

Concorde (no definite article) was grounded as a result of a crash caused by debris on the runway, IIRC from a Continental jet which had been shoddily repaired. Assuming you are correct, did NASA bring down an Air France plane in Paris? Or were the French in on the conspiracy?
Both Air France and BA Concordes flew once the fuel tanks were modified. What finally downed Concorde was economics. Primarily spares were becoming prohibitively expensive and the suppliers were declining to supply more. A secondary cause was Sept. 11th, the first BA transatlantic test was in the air when the WTC went down; the really bad news was that 44 of the most regular flyers on Concorde were in the buildings at the time. Whatever happened to the shuttles had nothing to do with Concorde. |

And how did we fake this with the world watching - including our enemies of the time, who surely would have pounced on such trickery by us? We won't even get into the number of people who would have been involved, yet kept their mouth's shut for all of these years... ![]()

The link takes you to the flight history of the Canadarm, which is the same as the "...history of when it was used during some mission." By the way, I'm 42 years old and I do remember the Apollo missions, especially Apollo 11. |

Note the arm wasn't carried on STS-9 and subsequent missions with the Spacelab in the cargo bay, only when needed for a satellite deploy/retrieval or EVA. ...and some of us are old enough to remember Sputnik.

Secondly, that is no reflection of the Earth above the flag, that is the Earth. Gene Cernan deliberately crouched down to include the Earth in the picture and can be seen doing this in footage from the rover's TV camera in the Spacecraft Films' DVDs of Apollo 17. Here is the caption for the photo from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal: AS17-134-20384 ( 112k or 440k ) 118:25:54 EVA-1 at the LM. This is an excellent portrait of Jack with the U.S. flag and the Earth. We get a good view of Jack's chest-mounted RCU and the camera bracket. Using planetarium program Starry Night Deluxe, we see that, had cloud cover over the southwestern Pacific been lighter, the Antarctica would have been visible at the left and Australia would have been coming into view over the top. Four hours later, Earth's rotation would bring Australia to center stage. Scan courtesy NASA Johnson. Thirdly, the reflection on the upper right of Jack Schmitt's visor (upper right from his point of view) is of the sun, not the Earth. This can easily be worked out from the directions of the shadows in the photo and the position of the terminator (shadow line) on the Earth. Because the Earth is to Schmitt's upper left rear, there is no chance of it being reflected in his visor in that photo. I see nothing mysterious at all in this photo. All the elements appear exactly as they should, according to my knowledge of how the photo was taken. (I have been a photographer since 1968 and was professional for 15 years.) |
