[AccessD] Friday humour

Well, if the solar system is Earth centered, a lot of the math dealing with
planetary motion goes right out the window... not to mention that little
sniggle called gravity.  The math of orbital mechanics suddenly disappears.
Were all that math wrong, we could never have made it to the Moon, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus those places manmade satellites have
visited.
