[QUOTE="Hawgman, post: 2772633, member: 7676"] You are giving credit to NASA for things they had nothing to do with. The Navy was tasked with the fundamental tasks of GPS, the Air Force took over at the end and finalized and implemented it. It was a defense project all the way and is still currently maintaining it. Don't feel bad. I've heard NASA given credit over the years for a number of things that they only used, never created or developed. People simply assume that if it has to do with the upper atmosphere or space, NASA must have done it. NASA enjoys this quirk of society and benefit from it whenever and however they can. As far as the OP, from time to time NASA hits the air waves to garner public interest to secure relevance and funding. To allude to "another Earth" is ridiculous, irresponsible and jeopardizes their credibility.... if the puplic ever does their own thinking. [/QUOTE]
