  > "Australia Is Drifting So Fast GPS Can't Keep Up" it's not GPS that can't keep up, it's people who who decided that this data was more immutable than it actually was, and now they're stuck with firmware that's difficult to update. > A significant correction must be made by the end of the year for navigation technology to keep working smoothly. 4.9 ft is not significant for navtech to work smoothly. there are still people involved. because GPS is not something that is accessible everywhere at all times. 5ft is a correction that a human can reasonably make. although if you wanted to snipe an individual from orbit without human involvement, then 5ft is a big problem. > The last adjustment there, in 1994, was about 656 feet. now, that was significant.
