   You  must  think  that  what  you  see on TV news is the entirety of what
   really is going on in the world .  Now  some  might  find  such  naivete'
   laughable, but I actually feel sorry for you.

   Watergate  and Iranscam are the tips of some very large icebergs. Some of
   us have a difficult time figuring out why ,now that the "cold  war  "  is
   supposedly  over, we need to have a National Security Agency in charge of
   keeping an estimated 8 million secrets from the American public. What ,in
   principle ,is to be gained by keeping the JFK Assasination  files  closed
   until  well  into  the  next century, when all the likely participants in
   this disgusting political takeover will have died of old age?  I  am  not
   the  first  to  make  such  allegations  about  the moon landing charade,
   therefore , suppression is attempted but fails.

   The issue is not necessarily whether we landed on the moon , but  how  we
   did it. The Japanese have this knack for doing anything we can do  ,  and
   with better quality and precision.

>>If you want  to  argue  about  the  merits  of  my  calculations...

>What merits?  Just for starters, your calculations assume that the Earth
>and Moon are motionless with respect to each other.

   No  they  don't  .  Abell's lunar gravity figure of 1/6 assumes the earth
   and moon rotate around a common barycenter. The neutral point  figure  is
   a direct derivation of that result.

   My  calculations  assume the neutral point to be motionless with respect
   to the earth and moon . What do your calculations assume?
