  It's just odd that it affects only flybys but not eg. satellites in orbit
or the Moon. Those work exactly like predicted by GR. (For example the
distance between the Earth and the Moon has been measured for 40 years
with an accuracy of about 1 cm, and this distance has changed exactly as
predicted by GR. There are tons and tons of other such measurements as well.
The flyby anomaly is an oddity with no currently known explanation.)
