The Wright brothers were ridiculed as “mad men” for their attempts at flying.
I think you can see there are some benefits to their “research”.

Didja see anything TomK?
RE: Discoveries by the telescopes on Mauna Kea - TomK - 09-20-2020
No, I didn't. Sounds like a bolide (fireball) when you get a largish meteor hitting the atmosphere and exploding as it gets farther into the atmosphere. I don't see a time-stamp on that thread but the MK webcams may have caught it.
kalianna - did you actually take the time to watch any of the videos I posted? I hoped that you would have seen the answer to your question there.
RE: Discoveries by the telescopes on Mauna Kea - kalianna - 09-20-2020
Oh oh, I guess I have to confess. I didn't get very far. I worked on the original Cosmos series with Carl Sagan and spent so much time on it that to this day I can't stand the very distinctive sound of his voice. And now I'll go to sleep and keep hearing, "Billions and billions of stars".
RE: Discoveries by the telescopes on Mauna Kea - TomK - 09-21-2020
So you didn't watch them. And I'll now just pick on one of your responses earlier because I'm tired:
"In terms of your questions, I think that oceanography is necessary to predict tidal changes [...]"
How can anyone predict the tides without astronomy?
RE: Discoveries by the telescopes on Mauna Kea - randomq - 09-21-2020
Tides come in, tides go out, nobody knows why.
RE: Discoveries by the telescopes on Mauna Kea - eightfingers2.0 - 09-22-2020
A rising tide lifts all boats.
RE: Discoveries by the telescopes on Mauna Kea - TomK - 09-23-2020
OK, you got me. We usually just look for the moon and guess. It seems to have worked so far. Same with GPS - how can it possibly work with a flat earth? It's all a hoax.
RE: Discoveries by the telescopes on Mauna Kea - eightfingers2.0 - 09-23-2020
GPS actually works better for flat earths, it’s all Cartesian and stuff. Mercator not needed.

This is a discovery by Pan-STARRS on Haleakala - - Earth may soon have a new, and temporary mini-moon. Astronomers aren't yet certain whether it's an asteroid or an old 1960's rocket booster, but whatever it turns out to be, it will arrive sometime this fall:
Scientists first spotted the object on Aug. 19 using the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) observatory in Hawaii.
Minimoon or space junk, scientists currently suspect that 2020 SO will fall into orbit this fall, then make its closest approach to Earth on Dec. 1 and Feb. 3, according to NASA, before slipping away again in the spring.
