Hi,
An interesting article, but one begins to have some questions about
the science background of the writer when he makes the statement that "Soon
after the first satellites were launched, scientists realized that Earth is
not a perfect sphere." I thought that that had been known for 100's of
years, since at least Newton.
cheers, brian
