Ah, I see. So a compass works without any outside reference, i.e., the
Earth's magnetic field.

and a compass tells you where on the planet you are, right?

dumb cluck. you don't even understand the English language.

When ever Jax talks , it s like someone farted in a very small room.

Ah, I see. So then you're saying that if you are in NYC you can see
Philadelphia on a clear day, since they are only around 80 miles apart.
Very good. You nailed that one.

and the *difference in distances using planer math is *how* much
different that
using spherical math? Quite a bit, actually, when compared to the
actual distance travelled spherically, and the relative distance,
planar, then that ratio IS measurable, and real.

idiot, the difference is neglible in the context.

before you responde, look up -- AND understand -- each word.

Minuteman ICBM Technical Specifications:

Guidance:

Improved NS-20 (INS-20) gimbaled inertial guidance system
manufactured by Autonetics Division, Rockwell International. The bus,
or post-boost vehicle, is maneuvered by six pitch and yaw motors, and
four smaller roll motors. Current plans are to retrofit the existing
force with the gimballess AIRS (advanced inertial reference sphere)
developed for the Peacekeeper (MX) missile. This will increase
accuracy to 330ft (100 m), comparable to the Peacekeeper.

Ah, I see. So then since the ICBMs are in the silos pointing straight
up and they have no navigation system, then the only thing they could
ever possibly hit is the silo that launched them. Very good. You
nailed that one too.

who said that couldn't be programed to turned to aim towards a target as they
lift off. Who said that was a "navigation" system.

dumb cluck. don't even know English as a language.

Jax is too funny. Now he's trying to convince people that the inertial
navigation system in ICBMs that guide them to "aim towards a target as
they lift off" (his words) is not a navigation system.

Talk about not even knowing English as a language.

You're hilarious. First, you don't even know who you're responding to.
And second, if you actually had enough "intelligenc" to do a google
search you'd see that he didn't make it up at all, that it's a verbatim
cut'n'paste from he

So tell me again how ICBMs have no navigation system...
