Question on Michelson-Morley experiment
From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE MIT-MC AT>
Harry gets carried away sometimes.

He also told of the chap who did the Michaelson Morley
experiment hudreds of times and got all kinds of relative
motion.  I asked Bob Forward about that, and Bob said,
       "Yep, he did the same experiment with the same crummy
equipment and kept getting the same erroneous results..."

I have often thought of doing an SF story in which they go to
the Moon and someone does the M-M experiment and gets the
relative velocity of Moon around Earth...
