High altitude balloons imo
Ignorance.
1. High altitude balloons reach 120,000 ft in the sky.
2. If we took your ridiculous assertion that it is HABs, in order to cover the fukking EARTH with realtime GPS, Internet and all other services we currently use satellites for, you would need THOUSANDS of those balloons just for America alone (and then you'd need a way to explain how those balloons provide internet and satellite TV. Where does that signal even come from???)
Taking both those points into account, any amateur astronomer would be able to SEE THOSE BALLOONS with a basic telescope on a clear day, you goddamn moron. No one has ever seen this intricate network of high altitude balloons, and you're just making shyt up because you don't know how stupid what you're suggesting really is.
A balloon cannot provide real-time traffic updates, which is what I get from my phone's GPS. Again, you would need an incredible amount of balloons for that, because they cannot see all the highways in the United States from a single, or even a handful of balloons
I personally still haven't heard a valid explanation for why GPS will drop in a lot of rural areas. I guess the satellites orbit over everything except the sticks?
This is because you don't actually LISTEN to people that explain this to you.
The GPS drops you're referring to are from PHONES, and a phone's connection is provided by a cell tower. Those cell towers communicate with satellites, but if the phone can't get a cell tower signal, you don't get the GPS signal.
A real handheld GPS is an entirely different beast. These are in direct communication with satellites. When do THOSE drop signals?
Your ignorance is easily refuted, but since you're dishonest, you won't address when you've been proven wrong, and you just move on to other Flerf talking points.
Address the smoke, nikka.
