Reply to: Remember Britain will have its own GPS system after Brexit?

[Mordac]

Well actually, no. There are no frequencies available as they have been scooped up by others

UK plans for satellite navigation system in doubt after Brexit

Goodbye modern age, welcome Victorian times

We'll have to teach the young to read a map, like what we always had to do. Best of luck with that though...

I beat the spread

You "beat" plenty of things. But only after the watershed.

[AtW]

But 5% longer and 0.01% more accurate than your deranged rantings.

hmm a balanced and measured response from our squirrel botherer.

No, it’s not a tractor, it’s

“a one metre long container containing clouds of rubidium atoms frozen using lasers"

btw you cat’t even spell it’s correctly, thicko

Its not a tractor oh and it might well be cheaper!

Few decades maybe, and only if there is investment in it - which there might not be since GPS is so much cheaper

You know these things get smaller after they are first born, (a bit like your brain), give it a few months it will fit into a matchbox.

Indeed the RAF could equip their new fighters with a canvas and balsawood contraption on top to contain this new GPS.
Let's hope it doesn't change the aerodynamic qualities of the plane too much.

I don’t know why he’s so worried about it and not celebrating it. Galileo is Brexit in a nutshell.

- we were paying more than other smaller countries, so now we don’t have to pay in and they can pay instead
- we’re now free to spend the Galileo dividend on our own system instead
- we now only need to pay for the access to Galileo that we want (within the boundaries of what the EU offers)
- we can do deals with everyone else (eg USA) for access to their systems, and that will all work out great because they have no self-interest whatsoever and they will bend over backwards to do a great deal with us
- we’ve reduced the influx of EU immigrants (“scientists”)
- we’ve successfully reduced the freedom of movement of our own scientists, so that they can concentrate on innovative jam recipes instead of world class science.

Reminds me of the TSR2

You're trying to be logical with mince. It doesn't work.

Relax, UK has developed an alternative to satellite GPS using quantum compass navigation.

The EU can stick it's old tech GPS system down its cake hole, with a cherry on top.

OR there is (or was) this...

yep we contributed a billion but we don't get to use it?

with friends like this?

Well when they did allow the UK to use it you didn't consider them as friends so they may as well treat the UK like sh*t.
