Roo? New generation GPS satellites began launching in 2005. Hardly obsolete.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
Might be so, but that isn't actually interesting. What is interesting is the political control and really, who wants to rely on the whims of the white house ?Originally posted by DanS

No offense, but think the other way around - europe was controlling the gps system. Would US in such a situation think it would be in their interest to build their own system or would you trust that your civil and military systems was protected and served when needed ?Originally posted by DanS

If we decided to cut off your GPS it'd be the least of your problems.Comment

This is a good question, but I'm at a loss to explain why somebody who for 50 years has enjoyed the warm embrace of the US security umbrella is all of the sudden squeamish about only a small piece of it.Originally posted by BlackCat

Well, the wall has fallen and the world isn't as simple as it used to be - maybe the warm embrace of the US security umbrella might be considered a bit thight - maybe a bit unreliable.Originally posted by DanS

If that's the final analysis, then you've got a ton of things besides GPS to replace.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
