I will check it out. I expect it to be more unvalidated/unvalidatable fiction like most all space ANYTHING. Do you have any reason to suspect it is actually real? I have a lot of reason to expect it to be hoax.
You are not paying attention if you think this has something to do with the AMERICAN education system. It has everything to do with the "education" system - I completely agree. I also see idiocracy as somewhat prophetic, even if it is one of the worst things judge has ever made.

"If you think the radar is bouncing off something else, please explain what that is, and why we can put spacecraft into orbit around the planet?"
We can't. It's all fraud and hoax. However, that isn't to say it is impossible that "orbit" is somewhat real, just not at all like we've been told. There is, somewhat unequivocally, no "outer space" of any kind in any case. Nequaquam vacuum.
The radar likely bounces off the "ionosphere" / ceiling. Looking back, I can't believe I fell for the ionosphere - what a crock of absolute bull.
"Telling us what it contains tells us a lot about it's function"
Not really, but even if it did - spectroscopy doesn't tell us what it contains.
"Spectrometry isn't meaningless"
Of course not! Who said that?
"it's one piece of evidence that fits in with a million others that tell us what the sun is and how it works"
Nonsense, it is the major piece of "evidence" and there is no great tapestry composed of other observations. Whenever anyone says "there's so much evidence - millions" you can be well assured it's bs. The solar "theories" (most all of astronomy, and other paper-mache "theories" like evolution) are intended to present a unified/consistent facade, but that's all it is. Behind it, is mythology and speculation presented erroneously as "scientific" fact from childhood.
"From nuclear fission to quantum mechanics to Relativity and Newtons laws and chemistry and all the disciples of science that study the nature of the universe."
You might be surprised how much of that list is non-real / misunderstood / incorrect. The myth of scientism is grand.
"If science gas got it all wrong, how are we using it to make all those things?"
Please don't misunderstand. I love science. I always have, and have a lot of knowledge about its history as well. I have loved philosophy since I was a child. Science is great, and leads to actionable knowledge to, ideally, the benefit of all mankind. Pseudoscience doesn't do that, and there is a tremendous amount of religion/mythology masquerading as science today, and that makes me very sad (and angry). You can discern the difference, but you have to learn how first! It is all a failure of education, and the secular religion of scientism.
