FF88 fantasizes that NASA has "real" radiation data which it keeps secret, and only people with "high-level security clearances" can see it. Of course, most people designing, building, and operating commercial and civil spacecraft do not have security clearances, and use the "public" data. If rocky's fantasy was correct, most of our weather, TV, etc. satellites would die agonizing premature deaths, and the insurers Would Not Be Amused.Darn, Erock, I was just about to nominate that! However, FF88 is the gift that keeps on giving, and from the same post:
Governments classify the information to keep it secret, but they manipulate the information so that no secrets would be revealed even when the documents are released. How sneaky is that, huh? It's almost as if they don't need to classify anything - and yet they still do.FatFreddy88 said:My not having access to classified info doesn't mean it couldn't have happened. The government can manipulate any data it wants to so any records saying such-and-such a thing happened cannot be used as proof of anything.
Just another example of rocky/FF88/DavidC/etc.'s absolute ignorance of the subject.
