Hi Bill,

<<I did
get Horizons data for Earth with the sun as my "viewpoint" via the
e-mail interface (and I think I could have used the Telnet interface).
I've stuffed that data into the "notes" for Earth (and added in the
Hill sphere definition, too.)

Thanks for being so responsive.

<<nice link on the "astronaut orbiting the shuttle" question.>>

This entire scenario is very unrealistic, but it is a fun conjecture.

Best regards,

Ray Shapp
