What, exactly, is the point in this? Anybody in the world who has a receicer can use our GPS system for free, so why waste all the money building their own?

I was just humorously reminded of the Financial Times that wrote, regarding Motorola's Iridium project, "at least the investors will see their capital re-enter the atmosphere." Those British are funny.

They are trying to be civilian and gov’t about it. If they were military about it they might make it work. Too bad they want their own system and can’t use the GPS because if the GPS goes down their Galileo will be going down too. The Chinese are also putting a system up and it will have the same problem that if the GPS goes down their system won’t be there either.

What a shame. Galileo is based on some cool, modern technology. But this artificial make-work socialist trans-national collaboration crap, as ginned-up by bureaucrats and pencil-pushers, never works. This one reminds me of a certain robust two-word phrase, first word begins with “c”, second word begins with “f”, first word is “cluster”...
