There's too much living on it.

Testing out GPS blocking systems? I had heard that in wartime the GPS would just be "shutdown". Don't want the enemy to find us.

Supposedly, the Chinese have one up there, that would work just as well.

The problem is that GPS is now being used for lots of navigational aids, especially in airplanes (not all of the airlines have them), (might have been part of the grounding issue, last week)...

But the military will be using them, and often they have to use Civilian equipment. (as a coworker was telling me (ex-Green Beret) they'd go buy the *lightest* stuff they could). Like during Desert Shield/storm - they couldn't buy the military stuff fast enough, so they bought off-the-shelf civvie stuff.

And besides, I bought my Garmin 195, so shaddup already. :)

Besides, who's going to use it with what to target us?
