Are we still on the satellite communications subject?



Yes, we are. Why?


Because GPS has never been shut down, to my knowledge.


Can you be more specific on how exactly this one-dimensional evaluation of a resolved issue contributes to your argument?


Because who wants to rely on a navigation system which occasionally goes down for nearly a week?


Clearly you have no idea how these kinds of issues are resolved, and how policies are reviewed and modified, following such an occurrence. An abhorrently depressing view on humanity's future that you believe there is nothing that we learned from this. I thought this discussion forum was about our progress toward the future by the virtue of the hacker spirit?
