First came USSR’s Sputnik, then came America’s Moon Landing—the Space Race of the 60s had Americans and Russians anxious to see the next space venture. One venture in particular was the Global Positioning System (GPS). After almost a decade of experimenting and testing by the U.S. Navy, GPS made its official debut in 1978 with the NAVSTAR satellite. In the scope of 20 years after, the world would see more satellites of its kind launched, and would later experience this once private, exclusive [DM1] technology eventually allowed into the hands of civilians worldwide. Today, there are multiple NAVSTAR satellites in operation, orbiting Earth as a network, giving us the ability to track the location of nearby restaurants, our beloved pets, and even people nearby.
