Umm.. what I said agrees with this. Dude... You wrote all that for nothing. Maybe reread my comment.

>As it turns out, relativity is what makes GPS work
Err...I think you mean relativity must be taken into account for GPS to work. If relativity wasn't a thing, GPS would still work (it would just be easier).

We can calculate the orbital paths for those objects so far ahead but not with the accuracy it would take to know whether it would hit earth. Space is big and the further out you extrapolate the bigger the error bars get.

Anyone who works closely enough with computers to have an opinion on this understands that a one GB hard drive actually provides less storage space than one (proper) GB. I'm with ZylonBane. They should have made 1000 bytes a kibibyte (therefore releasing most of us from having to use it) and left kilobyte alone as the proper term. If anything I will use kB or KB but not KiB. That's just silly.

It's actually the opposite. You're figuratively blinded by stars when you leave the atmosphere. It's the camera exposure.
