The government sure as hell isn't doing this to be nice to us, they'll tax us for it somehow.]]>Aug 10th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/
I'm guessing you also don't support NASA...]]>Aug 10th 2007 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/Aug 10th 2007 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/Aug 11th 2007 4:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/Aug 10th 2007 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/Aug 10th 2007 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/
Most important I a concerned about the US first.]]>Aug 10th 2007 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/
Damn, when we get into war with South America, Africa, Australia, or Antarctica I'll start to worry then....]]>Aug 10th 2007 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/
Nobody considers the fact that they WONT get our sattelites?

War = military action. Even if you don't agree with Iraq, you still probably understand the undeniable military might of the US.

F-22, missile defense system (it works, I saw it personally @ 2 AM in the morning 1 1/2 months ago), Abrams tank that's just about invulnerable (There's a video on liveleak showing an Abrams taking a HUGE explosion that knocks it 20 feet into the air, then it comes down, keeps moving, the crew comes out and waves), Uber infantry, GPS accurate to a foot (3 feet if you aren't in the military), etc.

So going to war with anyone means we automatically lose? I don't think so.

And we aren't addicted to teh sats, my family still uses those AAA maps and google earth/maps. We don't own a GPS system.

@ fopkins: rofl, funny!]]>Aug 10th 2007 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/
If we get into war with a country still using maps from AAA, then they will (hopefully?) not have the technology to destroy our satellites.]]>Aug 11th 2007 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/Aug 10th 2007 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/Aug 10th 2007 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/Aug 10th 2007 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/
I, as a European, am frustrated with the fact that the EU never gets anything off the ground. Too many conflicting interests results in a permanent stale-mate. Meanwhile the huge EU bureaucracy is keeping itself busy defining the curvature of cucumbers. And I am not joking. ]]>Aug 11th 2007 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/Aug 11th 2007 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/air-force-planning-multi-billion-dollar-gps-upgrade/Aug 11th 2007 4:39PM
