And if they blow up all or most of the GPS sats? Good thing we have a backup nav system like LORAN-C. Hahahahahaha... we're so screwed.  Guess people should start learning how to navigate with NDBs. And companies that use GPS for more than just positioning (like timing)... hahahahahaha, we're so screwed.

I really need new glasses.

I thought that said "Anti-Semite Missile Test". All I can imagine is a missile with a yarmulke on the nose cone and dreidels on the side that whines like Fran Drescher when it plummets to earth. Talk about something to make Neo-Nazi's drop a load!

You mean like cell phone carriers, broadcasters, most of the stock exchange, and a good chunk of our telecommunications system?  Nah, nothing would happen
