[#] the first few satellites had the option to select
between the standard and the modified divider; it was
empirically found that the modified divided is necessary,
as predicted by GR.

I find it interesting to imagine the possible conversation
between the military and the scientists that lead to the
decision to make the first few satellites this way.
