re: You need a good fisking, sonny
Give me a break! Grondine thought 1998 KY26 was a natural Aldrin Cycler! He didn't understand the physics or orbital mechanics and still doesn't.
As you point out if he did he would have flamed away. He has read this thread as elsewhere he linked to it as an example of my bad grammar.
His solution to most problems is to argue to authority: "go asked Steve Ostro" without ever telling you exactly why you should ask Steve anything.
If he had some other reason for pointing to Ostro he has had plenty of time here and elsewhere to post what it was.
All you have done is given him an out. Thanks.
