Bringing space down to earth!

Europe's space satellites play an indispensable role in the day-to-day functioning of our society. It influences on various activities; such as watching our favourite football matches or sending SMS'es on your mobile. Satellite information is also important with regards to larger societal concerns such as fluctuations in climate change and strategic planning for humanitarian operations. This video shows some of the activities that depend on European space satellites.

The US system is older but no less accurate the EU or Russia. The US system is actually more accurate outside of North America. There are some p-code anomalies introduced for whatever reason. Flying in a plane, unless you have a registered GPS that can counter p-code anomalies, your flying blind once you hit US airspace. Additionally, M-code accuracy is the same. The EU system covers parts of eu and the beams have blind spots. No one makes any car gps's that support it.

Just more junk in space, can't read a map or follow directions, but can destroy and place extremely expensive junk in space, did anyone think of the poverty level on earth, or they don't matter anymore, how is the money being obtained for these projects, by taking away from those that need, and saying oh, well! because that is what you all sound like now!!! try caring please, and stop getting blown away, with wasteful politics, its degrading!
