In 1986, errors at the plant in Ukraine led to an explosion that ultimately caused over a quarter of a million people to permanently evacuate their homes to escape the radiation and radioactive fallout.

"Like in aircraft and automobile production, each GPS 3 satellite will move through sequential workstations for various assembly and integration operations, culminating with environmental test procedures," Valerio noted in opening day remarks.

The satellites will be designed to have a 15-year life, three to seven years more than current spacecraft.  In fact, more than half the satellites currently in orbit are past their mission design lifetimes. The first GPS 3 satellites are scheduled to be available for launch in 2014.Already sitting on the factory floor is a GPS 3 "Non-Flight Satellite Testbed" – a full-size, flight-equivalent prototype of a GPS 3 satellite. It is being used to identify and solve development issues before the first space vehicle is assembled and tested….More at Next-Generation GPS Satellites Designed in Virtual Reality

"Hi guys. I'm getting married in a church with a weird split-hall design. The result is that half of the attendees won't be able to see the ceremony at all! I'm wondering if I could hook up my Canon Rebel T3i up to my 3rd-generation iPad and use it as a quick-and-dirty closed-circuit display? There's no WiFi in the location, so it has to be a wired solution too. Please help me!"

It's an interesting request and that's why we're here: solving those problems that three minutes on Google just can't. So, dear friends, what say you?
