And, of course, NASA has to also account for the missing day.

(Of course, people who believe in science reject the "missing day" in Joshua as
silly-- but some of those same people accept from the same book (Joshua) the
story of "stones from heaven sent to smite the Israelites enemy" because that
bit of literature can be intepreted in a modern sense to mean meteorites-- I
tend to think that if the "stopped sun" in Joshua is bunk, the "space rocks" are
bunk, too.)
