Such an idiot on n^8 counts.  ([the eight is on it's side BTW])

The the vehicle would have been tracked all the way back by those same
amateur astronomers. Something went, and came back...

And don't forget the radio hams who tracked it every step of the way.

Gee, you too boons are dumber than I gave you credit for.

1969? Perhaps you could list on one hand, all of the "geeks" capable
of tracking a tin can thousands of miles across thevan allen belt in
1969?

Thousands of them.

Oh Dear.



Possibly millions.

Oh Dear, Oh Dear.

There were at least two hundred in the astronomy club in Jamaica when I
tracked Apollo, and all of us managed. I'm sure that anyone else who had a
'scope and the time could do it.


I, personally, had a reflector scope


Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear.

A 8-inch Newtonian, actually. Not that this will mean anything to you.



and managed to track Apollo 11 most of the way there. Pretty good for nine
years old, which is what I was at the time.

And the van Allen belts simply do not cause a problem for optical
telescopes,



Ah right, I assumed we was tracking on non-optical wavelengths.

Perhaps you were, buyt I specifically said 'telescopes' and 'binoculars'.

Here it is again:

"Then the vehicle would have been visible, using commercially available

OH DEAR, OH DEAR, OH DEAR, OH DEAR, OH Oh OH OH DEAR.



nor do they cause problems for radio systems of the type in question, as the
frequencies were picked precisely to avoid problems with the van Allen
belts.
That's how NASA tracked the vehicle.

But not you, or your *MILLIONS* of cohorsts.

I didn't have a radio 'scope. I did have a reflector. If a nine-year-old with
a hand-made reflector could do it, I feel sure that NASA could somehow
manage.




Perhaps you could explain how all of NASA's probes that went silent
overthe past 30 years were missed by the 1/2 dozen "geeks" you claim
can *SCAN* the universe?

Not the universe, twit. Just from here to the moon.


LOL. You are funny.


I have a $50 bill that bets everyone here at T.O that it's
*IMPOSSIBLE* (with todays technology)

To track every object within the moon's radius.

Not tracking every object, twit. Just one specific one, starting from known
orbital parameters. Newton and Keplar are your friends.



<snippidity>

You boring me now.


Excellent.
