"Take any edge on orbit." - Fuckwit Wilson.
Didn't they teach you fuckwit ozzies what edge on means?
The axis that is perpendicular to my line of sight leaves the orbit
still edge on, you stupid old *****, and as you say, there is only one.

I've been telling you that for a year.

| You are confusing 'peripheral velocity' with 'radial velocity'.

You've been confused for years.
| The maximum 'peripheral velocity' is the (max observed
velocity)/cos(pitch)

That's what I've been telling you for years.
The maximum 'peripheral velocity' is the (max observed velocity)/cos(pitch),
got that, Wilson?

The maximum 'peripheral velocity' is the (max observed velocity)/cos(pitch),
got that, Wilson?

So if you want to know the true maximum 'peripheral velocity' you
divide the (max observed velocity) by cos(pitch), you don't need to
multiply by cos(pitch) because you've found the value you need, FUCKWIT!

I wouldn't do it, I know the true peripheral velocity.

| The pitch is already included in the observed velocity figures.

| You include it twice to fiddle your results.


Nope, just once, stupid old wabo.


| That's cheating.
*****.
