SPACE TOURISM SCAM: https://www.space.com/5845-grounded-space-tourist-sues-21-million-refund.html

@Meeper people have been predicting solar eclipses in ancient times before any of the globe model stuff existed. The fact that you found 1 model to fit your patterns doesn't mean those patterns happen because of that model

@The Best simarlian Well this guy paid his ticket, they didn't let him up then refused to give him a refund

Any mathematical model that gives you same sorta patterns that fit past solar eclipses would predict you future eclipses

Space is a multi billion dollar scam to justify military spending on missiles

@SamanthaFluff https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsearch/SEsearch.php

Eclipses were predicted in Babylon when everybody knew the Earth was flat

Go to school and then university and learn how to become an astronaut graduate then go to a space company and learn at there school that they have

ya but this prediction method does it perfectly

Precisely @Human Sheeple

7 people paid for 8 trips to the ISS (one guy went twice) https://mctoon.net/space-tourism/

and explains why the pattern exists

Just do what every other astronaut done

how is it accurate if it's based on incorrect information

So why does NASA say the Earth is flat?

A lot of people grasp at the first model they see that SEEMINGLY fits everything

Of course it works perfectly if you ignore the little flaws and adjust data to fit the model in other parts

@SamanthaFluff ya, that's not done

none of what you said is done

ephemerides are generated using gravity spherical earth, heliocentric model

Also note that this document assumes that a helicopter is a rigid body. Which is not true.

and they predict the ground track perfectly

@MCToon flatties never heard of simplifying assumptions

How do I double check this predicted ground track?

@SamanthaFluff check recent ground track of US 2017 eclipse

@Meeper Agreed. As an engineer, I must do that daily.

I was there, right on centerline, and the duration matched prediction perfectly

ephemerides is pattern recognition, based on ground observed data, not based on heliocentrism

had an app on the phone

@Meeper I've observed the eclipse myself in Salem like many before me did, even before we had any of our modern science :D

@Human Sheeple prove it, b/c this says differently : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Propulsion_Laboratory_Development_Ephemeris

@MCToon awesome, what type of engineer are you?

@Human Sheeple not based on any pattern

it's time stepping the n-body equations, using newtonian physics

i take 75g of creatine everyday

@SamanthaFluff the pattern of occurances doesn't tell you the ground track of the shadow

and the pattern doesn't work for the whole earth

You know JPL used to be Jack Parson's Laboratory and he used to hang aroudn with Crowley doing satanic orgies with cartoonist Disney, Nazi war criminal Von Braunn. You know Jack Parsons even gave missile technology to racist apartheid state Israel.
