Heared of GPS (Global Positioning System) run by the USAF ..... Used for all sortsa stuff ......
Well theres loads of other sattelitte based navigation systems out there too

Russian GLONASS
European Galileo positioning system
COMPASS navigation system of China
IRNSS of India

Galileo is a planned Global Navigation Satellite System, being built by the European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA). The €3.4 billion project is an alternative and complementary to the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian GLONASS. On November 30, 2007 the 27 EU transportation ministers involved reached an agreement that it should be operational by 2013.

Galileo is intended to provide: more precise measurements to all users than available through GPS or GLONASS, better positioning services at high latitudes, and an independent positioning system upon which European nations can rely even in times of war or political disagreement. Named for the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, the positioning system is referred to as "Galileo" instead of by the abbreviation "GPS" to distinguish it from the U.S. system.

Is this the same union that found Galileo guilty of heresy?

Nahh doubt it, that was a while ago ......... :t

I was reading a letter from Paul Wolfowitz, stating that the US should have the only system & how dangerous it would be to have a additional European system, since then the project has been dogged by financial issues...... But the Euro govt are persevering ..... Good show old beans :D

Paul...what a card.
GWB: Advisor that architected much of our Iraq policy
World Bank: Refused to forgive debt to impovrished countries while turning his head on late notices sent to 1st Worlders, then 'resigned' amid cronyism accusations
Various policy and defense positions in USGOV.
Of course he'll push the "Made in the USA" tag!

As long as the Italians are in charge of navigation, I wouldn't worry about competition. Wasn't it an Italian headed for India that ended up here? :t

Here's a joke from Iran...

Q.. Why did god invent war...

A.. So Americans could learn geography...

Something to do with the majority of Americans not knowing whats beyond their borders, or anything that goes on there. Unless there's a war, then the media tell them where it is. Must be on a need to know basis.
I believe the Brits were as bad at geography, they thought the Argentinians had invaded some Islands off Scotland when they invaded the Falkland Isles.
