Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.

Poor misunderestanding boy. Consider the cirumstance when the moon's
shadow is cast on the earth. Every movement then, until it's 90
degrees displaced, has an acceleration component away from the sun.
For that matter, 180 degrees later, when it lies along the earth
path, moving toward the moon, it has an acceleration vector with a
component away from the sun.
As I've said, plot the actual paths around the Sun. You'll see that
the moon's path is always concave to the Sun, that is, it is never
accelerating away from the star.
Heavens, I teach psych, and know this stuff.
I didn't think that celestial mechanics was part of the psychology
curriculum.
