RE>> And torque - what does that have to do with anything?< Nothing except it's just my way of expressing FT LBS.. which could also be expressed as energy , 5 ft lbs= 6.7791 joules, or .691275 KG per meter. A choice of semantics, perhaps not the best one, but I'm sure you'll forgive me knowing I'm not an Astronautics expert. -- Well I have to admit I'm a little disappointed, I thought you would go ballistic; with me insisting the MOON is "not" our satellite & not even a Moon in the normal sense I fully expected you to try to prove me wrong. LOL -- Well I can see you now running to your friends saying some idiot just said the Moon was not a moon but our closest Planet, and that fool also says the Earth/so called /Moon are really a duel planet system, & the moon's primary orbit is not around the earth , but it is really orbiting the sun, perturbed by the earth. -- Take your time; & go find your experts I'm hungry for some experts to try to prove me wrong about our Sister Planet ..which by the way I have named "Janet" after Asimov's wife as he was the first one to prove it, and I think he would like that it be named, after her. -- Jim
