[@georgeharrison2147]

One of greatest scientific breakthroughs ever

Use Google translator to translate 'sci enti fic' from Latin into any language you want. Believe that it is fiction.

Thank you for this fascinating story. It’s incredible and only the beginning.

Before GPS there was LORAN a ground based system. Not as accurate but worked. In WW2 they used radio station signals with direction finding antennas.

[@GrandmaTDawggsCribb]

Thank you

[@wêreldvandenluuk]

That was the good old days. Now it's "If it's Boeing, I ain't going!" 😂

[@jimkenealy6448]

well at least Boeing can make a good video. covers the birth of satellites and one of the greatest tech breakthroughs ever - GPS - another crazy American story. AND it all depends on an accurate, precise, and calibrated CLOCK (thanks Germany!). this is a headspinning story.

[@Chris_at_Home]

My last position where I worked was at a gateway earth station as a technician. We had two 15 Meter antennas along with a couple of smaller ones.

[@tabascoraremaster1]

and did no have a clue how it worked,or did you?

[@Chris_at_Home]

@@tabascoraremaster1 I did. The company I worked for owned a C band satellite. We had over 800 satellites modems. There were 5 of us techs that ran the place 16 hours a day 7 days a week. Week day shifts required at least two on shift. I’ve run the place a few days myself. I’ve also worked fiber optic networks and on a mountain top microwave backbone for a pipeline among many other things like avionics tech on military aircraft and electronics on oil well logging tools and more…

Shout out to Hughes Aircraft!

[@RGB06084]

Really well done Boeing! Now let's get those 787's out the door faster!

I’m only 6:48 in. . . but I’ll mention something that occurred to me in the 1960s. The “Russians” had big boosters. . . The US did not. So the US learned how to make things SMALL (see what I did there?😉). In my opinion, the Space Race was won by the ability to put 100lbs of functionality into a pound of hardware. . . Transistors, integrated circuits, while the Soviets were still working with vacuum tubes. . .

Boeing has descended to the quality level of GM / Ford / Chrysler-Stellantis

[@dewiz9596]

18:50 At the time, we were fed a lot of BS about cruise missiles following internal terrain maps.

[@Paiadakine]

The old ones pre GPS used stored maps. There might be a new version today incase GPS signals are lost, but who knows.

[@kozmokohler]

All of that and ZERO mention of weather satellites?!

Gente da Boeing peço e imploro que essa empresa não demita 10 por cento do seu pessoal de serviço. Os Estados Unidos da América tem sofrido políticas contra o trabalho mais é preciso pensar nas vidas que precisa muito do trabalho. Por favor diretoria da boieng proteja o trabalho na boieng por favor. Agradeço agradeço att

I am Rania. I have a project. I have been designing rockets, weapons, and spacecraft for two years. I have been trying to communicate with NASA, but perhaps you did not see my attempts. I want help. I need one chance. I may not have a degree in space or astronomy, but I have more passion than any of your employees.

[@tabascoraremaster1]

Tell me how a radio signal can travel at the speed of light please.

[@jimkenealy6448]

all waves of the electromagnetic spectrum including radio waves travel at the speed of light. i get confused on this everyday. maybe think of a laser as just a fancy radio transmitter.

[@SCM_Germany]

Will you ground the Dreamliners after yesterday’s whistleblower news? ALL current active 777 and 787 should be checked for quality issues.
