After the rockets engines turn off, it follows a parabolic or elliptical (not hyperbolic) path, and that is ballistic, I think. If fluffy was flying in the atmosphere with wings, straight and level, that would not be ballistic.

Ignoring the fluffy aspects of it, the general usage matches more the explosive powered part of the flight than the free-fall remainder.

ballistic - Of or pertaining to projectiles or their flight, moving under the action of no force except gravity.

The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary

That's the only definition in my favorite dictionary.

I'm with Amadeus...

Lose the church aspect. Lose the admin tech. Incinerate KSW.

Get the best tech terminals on the planet to sort though the all the materials and rejigger it from a one size fits all carwash to a more personalized ability driven personal improvement non-profit.

Focus on training auditors, fields auditors and auditing. If you just want auditing no one will reg you.

No must haves on anything.

Staff makes a living wage. No clapping at pictures.

Sea Org is disbanded.

Good Lord I could go on and on.:no:

Would I rejoin? Well, under my paradigm, they're really wouldn't be anything to join. Would I train and receive auditing from a group like that? Sure.

Scientology from around 1952, with developments from the field and LRH's personal paranoia missing? Sure. I would miss the charm L. Ron Hubbard had back then but not the bullshit, even then.

I prefer not to think that I lost this argument, but rather, that I came in second place. Is there a prize for second place?

Sometimes I think it can be reformed and at times I despair of it.

Dianetics surely does have it all over thorazine and electroshock and I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
