If the Russians take our GPS satellites it may well create a lot debris and it may case a cascade reaction and out many more satellites besides our GPS ones.
And theirs, and the Chinese, and everyone else's. I think that would result in some small amount of blow-back.
If Russia screws with Chinese satellites...
ISS anyone? Wouldn't this also jeopardize the International Space Station???? Just sayin'
To this very day, I still do not own a dedicated GPS device (my smartphone doesn't count). Still using paper quad maps with a Silva or a Brunton for getting around in the woods and mountains. I run an orienteering course every couple-three years or so and usually finish on top or second place. Learned all that stuff in the Boy Scouts decades ago and never forgot it cuz I still use it regularly. Have got myself out of many bewilderments over the years in the mountains. Also still carry paper state highway maps in all of my vehicles, and Gazeteers, too. Anybody remember those?
Two things I learned from sailing offshore…
Yes it would which is another reason this is not going to happen. If they start blowing up stuff in space the debris would soon make everything up there start to get holes punched in it.
That's a big "Who cares?"
The cell phone gps direction generation wouldn't know how to get anywhere.
Frikken hilarious. Going to hire myself out as a native guide, take them out into the woods and leave them for a bit.
