I've been on him to provide something with value but he hasn't done that yet. Nothing but noise coming from him.
This is quite the interesting response from you, because in the last thread, where I was saying the same thing about it being done over and over...you defended the OP right down to the bone...while attacking me, IN FACT.
Would you like me to provide that link for you???
Here it is...
www.abovetopsecret.com...
LOL.
All to easy.
When it rains...it pours.

Exactly, I still maintain an open mind where need be...
I'm not sure if the OP had provided how he came up with that 108km distance using GE. I know davesidious had asked him about that but not sure if the OP responded yet...
In fact, the only way to reduce my calculated speed values to even get close to the estimated maximum speed of the fastest Russian missile, I would have had to use a value of 22 secs ... a full 12 seconds longer than in the video clip.

Interesting? It proves that it wasn't a Bulava missile.
So the inevitable conclusion is that a stable, front on viewed spiral would be impossible to create and maintain over an extended period of time based on the possible missile flight attitude modes.

Something else, something much more significant transpired on that day ... and again, from my point of view, it was NOT a failure as reported by the Russians and the media but more likely a SUCCESSFUL test of new technology, either propulsion or weaponry.

The leading candidate explanation to emerge was one that blamed the spiral formation (and associated features) on leaking fuel/propellant from the missiles 3rd stage. This seemed like a reasonable explanation, however my analysis indicated that even though the possibility was extremely high that the Russian missile WAS involved in the event, the actual mechanism of spiral formation did NOT appear to be due to a simple mechanical failure within the 3rd stage.
Unfortunately, there was no other explanation available that would satisfactorily explain how the spiral was created - and so my analysis was left at that point.

EM.
You should get your head out of your bum-- you're stinking up the joint with all the turd you're talking.
You're still chirping at me and I thought you said we were done.
Now beat it.
