Title
[edit]I don't understand the title. Why two names?--Jonpro 05:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Reluctant
[edit]Stillman Drake was very reluctant to admit that Galileo could make a mistake. As a result, Drake said that Galileo's failure to recognise Neptune as a planet was due to Galileo's lack of a proper stand for his telescope. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.212.97 (talk) 13:23, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
1957
[edit]Stillman Drake's 1957 book omits passages that put Galileo in a poor scientific light. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.11.103 (talk) 14:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
