If NatGeo is off by a factor that big about the ISS, what else are they wrong on? I’m crushed!
Gorebal Warming.
…that and the Left Leaning attitude of 2/3 of their NatGeo Network programming.
That’s 1,200 Noachian miles, which are 374 cubits each….
What’s a 1000 miles between friends?
It depends on how they’re dressed.
They must have meant furlongs?
The wording is awkward but I think they were trying to say that LEO extends out to 1200 miles.
Then it’s really bad wording. You may be right.
I think the USAF actually defines 600MI as the beginning of Deep Space.
When is this group going to go back to their roots and fund a lunar expidition?
