Go for it, sez little old me. Just don't crash your satellite into my satellite

ESA article on "why Galileo"

interesting, but odd that they bang on and on about it being under civilian control as if that was a good thing. galileo will be under political control which will have much the same result. if the system needs to be switched off for civvies it will be switched off, regardless of whether it is GPS or galileo.
