Bad news for the GPS constellation?
GPS System might begin to fail in 2010, Government Accounting Office warns
Somehow I don't think the gov't will let this happen since they rely on it quite a bit.

This isn't the first time I've been disappointed by a GAO report.
But hey, you gotta stir the populace somehow, right?

I didn't go read the GAO report, but a program manager would never give a nightmare scenario to an accountant to get funding for their projects.
 And we all know accountants are satellite experts.
