Well, that's what they *want* you to believe. In fact, the top brass
in charge of these programs were avid fishermen. Despite all the
technology available at the time, there was no way for them to
positively return to that "sweet spot" on the lake. So...a hundred
million here, a billion there...and you got yourself one of the best
fishing navigation systems in the world.
NavSTAR could easily have been named "FishSTAR".
But they don't want you to know that.
