Najak accused his star respondent of giving him incorrect equations based on nothing more substantial than his inability to work through them and satisfy his errant preconceptions.

As I said, nothing new or original about him. Was it Heiwa years ago who insisted the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation had nothing to do with calculating the change in velocity of the CSM during a burn?

I'm pretty sure Jason agrees with me, in that it was funny watching him realise he was trying to bluff the guy who actually wrote the book on Apollo TV technology. That was a classic moment, at least for me.

Yeah, I had a good laugh at that.  ;D
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth.
I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.
I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

Oh, that was utterly hilarious.

I only wish I included "film maker" as one of your credentials when I no so subtly hinted at who he was talking to.
