Mr. Lovell has brought up a very important factor which was ignored in
the discussion about the visibility of Cuba from Florida - continental
drift. In order to prove that I did not see Cuba it is not enough to
prove that it cannot be seen now. It must be proven that it could not
be seen in, say, 1975, or so. To do this you must prove either that
Cuba is not moving away from the US due to continental drift, or that
despite this movement Cuba was not visible even in 1975.

I eagerly await further postings on this matter.
