It's easy enough to establish measurement stations on the surface to

satellites, or what?

This is one of your poorest troll attempts, Anthony, you are a
disappointment. Please try to do better.

Do you folks that continue to respond to Mxsmanic, Bertie, Maxwell, and the
other trolls realize that if you had simply ignored them this would still be
a useful forum?

It would also be a useful forum if people actually answered the
questions posed, regardless of *who* is asking it. The OP's question
is perefectly valid, and x number of years from now when somebody
Google's for the answer and gets this thread, all they will see for an
answer are insults. There is nothing more frustrating than
Googling for an anwer to something only to find the response was "why
don't you Google for it". If you have the time to post such a
response, you have the time to answer the question.
