Did you also just learn that a 2011 Ford truck gets better gas mileage than a 1978 Ford truck? Crazy what 30 years will do!

Yeah ofc thats true, but 16 of the 31 GPS satellites that are currently operational have actually been launched after the start of Galileo in October 2011, and the oldest of the other 15 was launched in 1997. Also, they get software updates from time to time.
