The Bermuda Triangle Rocket Graveyard for NASA and The Escape Velocity Mythos

Isn’t it an interesting coincidence that The Bermuda Triangle became a mystical off-limits place on the same year as NASA starting launching rockets from Florida in the 1950s? NASA claimed they needed to achieve an “escape velocity” to break out of the clutches of the Earth’s gravitational field. According to NASA, a spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth, for example, needs to be going about 11 kilometers (7 miles) per second, or over 40,000 kilometers per hour (25,000 miles per hour), to enter orbit. This is all because of the theoretical power of Gravity.

This invisible and unproven hypothetical Gravitational field has such a hold on upwardly ascending rockets that they needed to waste tons of precious fuel in a horizontal trajectory just to escape its mighty power. This is the same Gravitational field that Butterflies and Helium Balloons seem to ignore as they go flittering about, unaffected by the powerful Gravitational field that the NASA rockets have to contend with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Rockets are bigger and more dense than butterflies so they are affected more by Gravity. Yawn…We have heard all this rubbish a thousand times. It’s the most unproven, unsubstantiated, pseudoscientific garbage in existence. Gravity knows if you are a small creature with little wings, so it allows you to freely roam. And Gravity knows if you are streamlined missile with millions of pounds of thrust to help your ascend so it will not allow that! Gravity knows!

Gravity has your number so you have to travel around the Earth to achieve escape velocity, instead. Magically flying horizontally though the atmosphere for thousands of miles gives you more speed that merely flying straight up where the atmospheric layers become thinner and thinner so you can go faster and faster. You cannot just apply Occam’s razor and fly straight up, thereby saving tons of precious fuel, and achieving the most velocity by avoiding the unnecessary scenic cruise around the Earth under the achieving escape velocity mythos.

Escape Velocity According to NASA:

“In celestial mechanics, escape velocity or escape speed is the minimum speed needed for a free, non-propelled object to escape from the gravitational influence of a primary body, thus reaching an infinite distance from it. It is typically stated as an ideal speed, ignoring atmospheric friction. Although the term "escape velocity" is common, it is more accurately described as a speed than a velocity because it is independent of direction. The escape speed is independent of the mass of the escaping object but increases with the mass of the primary body; it decreases with the distance from the primary body, thus taking into account how far the object has already traveled. Its calculation at a given distance means that no acceleration is further needed for the object to escape: it will slow down as it travels—due to the massive body's gravity—but it will never quite slow to a stop. On the other hand, an object already at escape speed needs slowing (negative acceleration) for it to be captured by the gravitational influence of the body.

“Non-propelled” is important. As evidenced by Voyager program, an object starting even at zero speed from the ground can escape, if sufficiently accelerated. A rocket can escape without ever reaching escape speed, since its engines counteract gravity, continue to add kinetic energy, and thus reduce the needed speed. It can achieve escape at any speed, given sufficient propellant to provide new acceleration to the rocket to counter gravity's deceleration and thus maintain its speed. Any means to provide acceleration will do (gravity assist, solar sail, etc.). Likewise, hindrances like air drag are also considered propulsion (only, negative), so they are not part of the escape speed calculation but are to be taken into account later in further calculation of trajectories.

More generally, escape velocity is the speed at which the sum of an object's kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy is equal to zero. An object which has achieved escape velocity is neither on the surface, nor in a closed orbit (of any radius). With escape velocity in a direction pointing away from the ground of a massive body, the object will move away from the body, slowing forever and approaching, but never reaching, zero speed. Once escape velocity is achieved, no further impulse need be applied for it to continue in its escape. In other words, if given escape velocity, the object will move away from the other body, continually slowing, and will asymptotically approach zero speed as the object's distance approaches infinity, never to come back. Speeds higher than escape velocity retain a positive speed at infinite distance. The minimum escape velocity assumes that there is no friction (e.g., atmospheric drag), which would increase the required instantaneous velocity to escape the gravitational influence, and that there will be no future acceleration or extraneous deceleration (for example from thrust or from gravity of other bodies), which would change the required instantaneous velocity.”

Note:

The “escape velocity” arc that NASA rockets take towards their final splashdown destination in The Bermuda Triangle does not correlate with the alleged circumference of The Earth of 24,901 miles, as dictated by The Heliocentric Model. In Heliocentric mechanics, escape velocity or escape speed is the minimum speed needed for a free, non-propelled object to escape from the gravitational influence of a primary body, thus reaching an infinite distance from it. In this theory, the rockets need to fly parallel to The Earth, circling it, before emerging into the imaginary vacuum of Outer Space. Nevertheless, the escape velocity arc that these rockets take is so small that it would make The Earth approximately 150 miles in Circumference. This is another reason why NASA’s escape velocity explanation for the observable arc that their rockets take is ludicrous.  

Scientific observations that destroy the escape velocity mythos:

1.) The higher you are the LESS the Gravitational pull, obviously, so you do not need to achieve extra speed to escape Gravity. You already did the lion’s share of world when your left the ground. That is when Gravity was strongest, according to the Heliocentric model. So the whole argument that you need to achieve a special magical velocity above the Earth is absurd.

2.) The higher you go, the thinner the atmosphere and so the LESS amount thrust and work is required to go beyond the Earth’s top atmospheric layer. The sooner you get to that highest atmospheric layer, The Exosphere, located between about 700 and 10,000 kilometers (440 and 6,200 miles) above Earth's surface, the easier it will be to get into Outer Space. Traveling horizontally to achieve escape velocity is the worst thing you could do to escape Earth’s Gravitational field.

3.) It is not necessary to travel at 11km/s to escape the Earth's Gravity, as any speed will do, as long as you keep going up. That is the reason for rocket thrusters, NASA. 11km/s is known as escape velocity because a body travelling up at this speed at the Earth's surface will keep going up without any further force being applied. But, again, rockets have thrusters, and so the reverse argument that you must reach escape velocity to keep going up does not follow.

4.) There is no evidence of Outer Space, and so the 17,000 mph that NASA speaks of would burn up anything as massive and heavy as a rocket in nanoseconds in The Earth’s atmosphere, and there is only Earth’s atmosphere.

5.) There is no Lower Earth Orbit, since there is no sphere to be orbiting around.

6.) With an upward trajectory, instead of a lateral trajectory, you achieve a greater distance from The Earth, and quicker, thereby saving fuel, as well as ensuring you do not fall back to Earth since you are not orbiting an imaginary ball in an imaginary 17, 000 mph orbital free fall scenario. Adding a 17, 000 mph orbital free fall scenario to the idea of merely flying straight upwards to escape The Earth’s imaginary Gravity is both needless and contrary to the mathematics and Physics of rocket flight.

7.) When you assume The Heliocentric Model as true, you end up making the aforementioned mistakes in your analysis.

8.) According to NASA, in Celestial Mechanics, escape velocity or escape speed refers to the minimum speed needed for a free, non-propelled object to escape from the gravitational influence of a primary body, thus reaching an infinite distance from it. It is typically stated as an ideal speed, ignoring atmospheric friction. Although the term "escape velocity" is common, it is more accurately described as a speed than a velocity because it is independent of direction. The escape speed is independent of the mass of the escaping object but increases with the mass of the primary body; it decreases with the distance from the primary body, thus taking into account how far the object has already traveled. Its calculation at a given distance means that no acceleration is further needed for the object to escape: it will slow down as it travels—due to the massive body's gravity—but it will never quite slow to a stop. On the other hand, an object already at escape speed needs slowing (negative acceleration) for it to be captured by the gravitational influence of the body.

9.) Any analysis ignoring what NASA says, in terms of why they use an escape velocity, (i.e. the minimum speed needed for a free, non-propelled object to escape from the gravitational influence of a primary body), is an imaginary proposition that NASA, itself, does not subscribe to.

10.) The term, “escape” in “escape velocity” refers to escaping The Earth’s imaginary gravitational field.

 11.) There is no gravitational pull from The Earth according to modern Physics since Einstein redefined Gravity in 1907 as NOT a “mass attracts mass” force, but rather, as evidence that we exist in a pseudo-Riemannian Manifold, or nonisomorphic, as it traces a geodesic, a space whose shape comes from the presence of masses with time being a relative quantity.

12.) “Escape Velocity” assumes a Heliocentric Model, which there is no scientific        proof of.

13.) Some people claim that NASA’s rockets fly off in a lateral arc that exactly matches what would be a curved trajectory around The Earth, therefore suggesting that these rockets are flying around The Earth instead of taking a short arcing path down onto The Bermuda Triangle. However, this claim is very flawed in that the length of the arc that these rockets make is so small that The Earth would literally need to be approximately 3000 miles in circumference to make that arc match the spherical geometry of The Earth. And so, again, the arc that these rockets take does not correlate with the official story that NASA is giving about the necessity of achieving an escape velocity by orbiting The Earth.     

Ok, so now that we have established the nonsensical absurdity behind escape velocity, and rest assured, NASA knows it too, why would they push this narrative every time they execute a rocket launch? The answer is two words: Bermuda Triangle. NASA has never left Earth’s lower orbit, as even they have confessed to, accidentally. They have nowhere else to go but laterally, and so they put on a big show and send the rockets horizontally, as every NASA rocket launch has clearly shown, and they tell everyone that they have to shoot horizontally to achieve escape velocity. It’s their little cover up story.

Now you know the rest of the story…
