Watch out, watch out, there's a satelitte about!

I went to see HMS Southerland at the weekend and was really impressed. The only thing that bothered me was learning that there are 29 satellites over Caithness, only 4 of which are needed for global positioning etc, this begs the question, what are the other 25 doing ?:(

It takes that many to satisfy the demand for pornography.

Is that arial pornography or am I thinking of something else?

Whizzing by overhead! There's a web site (can't remember the link) which tells you what's overhead at any time for your location. Very handy when you see some twinkling thing go by and you want to know what it is.
