Yeah ... well ... it was probably written by a journalist, and they're generally clueless.

Hi, An interesting article, but one begins to have some questions about the science background of the writer when he makes the statement that "Soon after the first satellites were launched, scientists realized that Earth is not a perfect sphere." I thought that that had been known for 100's of years, since at least Newton.
cheers, brian
