>>Man travel to outer space is based on Newtonian physics, no need for quantum physics to get away from the planet. You have a way with words but that does not make you truth teller just a good salesman.<<

The above statement is 100% untrue! Newtons equations never worked exactly right. Scientists guessed Newtons equations were not quite right since his first great female biogropher, but that problem was sort of pushed under the bed as no one knew why? Until Einstein came along and said there had to be a reason. The reason was time.

When time was added to Newtons equations they worked perfectly. They could never get people into space using just Newtons equations.

So on the surface you need relativity because you need to take time into account for the equations they need to work, but also the products produced using quantum theory.

Every day they have to adjust satellites in space because of the space/time factor i.e. time is different on earth than it is in space. If they did not adjust the satellites they would stray about 14 miles off course each day.

Time has to be relative because light is a constant. that was Einstein's big insight. Quantum physics was an outgrowth and part of relativity theory even though relativity will not work with the very small like atoms. The equations go to infinity.
