Yea as Black Six said it will never happen. The US Military is dependent on Gps and it's the secret to their success in many Military situations. The US Government will make sure it stays working just fine and even better .

Re: iPhone vs Droid
When it comes to space, I think most unmanned systems function much longer than expected (provided they don't explode on launch). Just look at the current Mars rovers. Both were designed with a 90 day mission in mind, but now they've both been there for more than 2000 days. If the GPS satellites last that long compared to their design life, they'll be chugging along for 150 years.Metallica Man X wrote:Here's some info on the sats currently in orbit:

..do notice how the last one put up was done in '96, and that the machines only have a 7 design life....

Re: iPhone vs Droid
I have and use my droid a lot. It is fantastic, besides the real keyboard, it's iffy at times. I like, the apps, and how I can change the main page. I love the funny 'droid' noise it makes when getting text. Though, it scared me last night. I also like the facebook app. I hate hiw the phone is at times, sometimes it slows down, when just texting. I found out thingss are running in the background, though.

or like i said about MIR, it was designed for 5 years and lasted 8 days short of 15vskid wrote:When it comes to space, I think most unmanned systems function much longer than expected (provided they don't explode on launch).

Re: iPhone vs Droid
