Does anybody here actually realise how important GPS, and satellite data connections are?
Those massive container ships rely on GPS to tell them their precise location in crowded harbors, so that they can know their exact depth. without satellite communication, the world stock markets can't function, international communication is also hampered. Contact with remote research stations and communities is lost. In all ssituations a loss of satellite coms for a week as compared to few months, is much better, and safer for the world.
