I'm afraid I don't have anything constructive to add here, but thank you for leading me on to these links. I'd never thought about the more subtle issues that were faced, the effects of speed and gravity astounding enough already.
> From the gravity of jupiter to the fact there are reflected photons on one side of the earth but not the other (the latter is admittedly only 30cm per day).
That we face these issues is quite beautiful in many ways. In the tech side, we're probably more used to seeing problems with scaling things down, it's nice to think find out that something as simple as finding out how to get to the shops must take into account the position of Jupiter. I feel my complaints about cleaning messy data quite minor in comparison.
