And does not General Relativity use Newtons Gravity.
And on a side note it ticks me off when folk talking about GR say Newton was wrong and I have even seen a video where Newton is portrayed as a fool.

Very true Alex.
Here is what Einstein said about Newton's theory of gravity.
Quote:

No one must think that Newton’s great creation can be overthrown in any real sense by this [Theory of Relativity] or by any other theory. His clear and wide ideas will for ever retain their significance as the foundation on which our modern conceptions of physics have been built.

Here is a terrible thought.
With anti science governments in power and NASA's budget being slashed, NASA may need to rely more on private enterprise funding that will have a say in the naming rights for missions.
Imagine say in the year 2030 the "Microsoft Windows 700" space telescope is launched or the "Ronald McDonald Hamburger Plus" space probe to the dwarf planet Eris.
Shocking to contemplate.
