I’m doing this on a phone because the computer is disconnected ready to be moved. We’re still nowhere near done, as there are many more things to go to different places, a lot of them bulky or heavy. I’ve never before sent so much stuff to landfill as I have recently. We hadn’t avoided it, we just postponed it.
We’re still connected to the wired broadband at the moment, but won’t be in a few days. It’s amazing, though, just how much you can do with all this information / communication GPS infrastructure. But it’s a bit vulnerable, even the electricity supply.
It only needs a really big CME, or someone to let off an EMP, or just the cumulative effect of space crud circulating at many times the speed of a bullet, to make it all go a bit duff.
Our satellites who are in the heavens,
One god in plurality,
Triangulating for us,
So we can know
Where we are going,
Where we are, to within a jump,
We thank you for
Your benevolent oversight.
We praise and thank you actual God
For the human ingenuity and enterprise
That gives us communications and locations.
Protect us, we pray,
When it looks like going wrong.
Protect us, we pray,
When the oversight is not
Quite so benevolent.
