starship-design: Re: Mystery force tugs



This "news" is getting to be two or three years old now, and yet it still
circulates. The solution was found a long time ago- IR photon pressure from
the RTG power supplies aboard all four probes causes the (extremely minute)
deltaV. After many years of flight, that minute deltaV becomes readily
detectable.

I'm very surprised this made it to the list. Now, what is this about
rewriting physics on four data points that are not readily reproducible?
Really now.
