AaronGUEST
2:21
We like to say it's for everything that moves.
AaronGUEST
2:23
And the high level construct is, if you think of GPS as this amazing thing that got us positioning capability, we do something similar, but with 100 times the level of accuracy.
AaronGUEST
2:36
You say high precision,
DanielHOST
2:37
yeah? Well, is there different sort of bands that you, I mean, we could have low precision and high precision, but ultra high precision, like, well, what are we talking about here? What would you classify as ultra high?
AaronGUEST
4:59
It's the only thing that actually tells you where you are globally in a consistent way.
AaronGUEST
5:04
And so we leverage all the existing satellite systems out there.
AaronGUEST
5:09
So the US, you know, we have GPS, Europe, they have Galileo, there's the Russian system of GLONASS, and then the Chinese system of Beidou, and then even some regional systems that are out there.
AaronGUEST
5:19
We use all of them.
JackHOST
63:07
That's funny.
JackHOST
63:07
I'm thinking about going from season two of the original, Lila stealing his Garmin GPS out of his car, versus now we're just tracking people on our phones.
JackHOST
63:18
Oh, and we did kind of run over this.
JackHOST
63:20
When they're having their diner moment, Dexter throws out like, hey, you know, since you're going to be out there, and he's saying it as a concerned father, like, hey, you're going to be on the beat.

VBAT, which is like a group three class drone, has to land in totally denied environments.
Armor HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
12:12
So you don't get GPS.
Armor HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
12:14
It has to land in crazy sea states because if you're fighting a war, You have to fly your mission, even if the weather is rough.
Armor HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
12:21
It has to land in the frigid Arctic North.
speaker_3NARRATOR

That rule had overrated how much grazing a kangaroo needs compared with a sheep, and measuring the animal's actual energy use cut the kangaroo's share to roughly half of what the rule allowed.
speaker_3NARRATOR
36:16
Later, free-living red kangaroos and sheep in an Australian rangeland were followed by GPS, while their energy use was tracked, and the kangaroos' field metabolism came to about 30% of the sheep's.
speaker_3NARRATOR
36:31
Part of that came from behaviour, since in that country the kangaroos travelled shorter distances.
speaker_3NARRATOR
36:38
The free-living figures matched earlier work inside an enclosure, which suggests the thrift belongs to the animals themselves.
David KreutzkampHOST
38:23
What else are you doing beyond that? That's going to try and help and solve those, the situation.
David KreutzkampHOST
38:28
GPS
Howie MurrayHOST
38:28
everywhere.
Howie MurrayHOST
38:29
So
Michael T. BrownHOST
14:19
That's right.
Daniel LucasHOST
14:21
So about the technology of load management, how do high performance teams use GPS or accelerometers and biometric data to thread the needle between optimal training load and overload management? leading an injury
Michael T. BrownHOST
14:41
oh you're on the cutting edge with the question there daniel a lot of talk about load management these days particularly in basketball where sports teams are looking at the health of their players and deciding how should we distribute minutes, playing time, rest, recovery.
Michael T. BrownHOST
15:03
And I don't think anyone's found the perfect formula in partly because right.
SandyHOST
3:10
First up, shareable activity and more in the news.
SonnyHOST
3:31
First up in geocaching and GPS news, there have been a number of release notes from Geocaching HQ.
SonnyHOST
3:36
So we're going to run through them and just to keep you informed.
SandyHOST
3:39
So the first is about shareables.

20 MINS LATER

Annie LoveGUEST
23:51
And mine was through my dad.
Annie LoveGUEST
23:54
He is a forester, retired now, but still loves being out in the forest.
Annie LoveGUEST
23:59
With his job, he was using GPS devices.
Annie LoveGUEST
24:02
And so he heard about geocaching and decided to take that up as a hobby.
Tim HendersonHOST
16:23
Yeah, they didn't have
speaker_1HOST
16:24
GPS.
Tim HendersonHOST
16:25
Well, and also people weren't videoing at the party.
Tim HendersonHOST
16:29
Thank God.
Mr. CreepsHOST
85:34
Did the power cord come loose? I checked ensuring the power cable for the unit's battery was plugged into the port on the control panel.
Mr. CreepsHOST
85:43
It was a brand new GPS unit, and I had used it a few times already, so I knew that it wasn't defective.
Mr. CreepsHOST
85:51
Granted, I could fly and navigate without it, but the Garmin made my time as a pilot so much easier.
Mr. CreepsHOST
85:58
The thought of going blind was dreadful.
Kelly Holley-BockelmannGUEST
44:06
I personally am excited about the gravitational wave aspects, but there's a lot of technology that can be used for the efforts for things like the Moon to Mars effort.
Kelly Holley-BockelmannGUEST
44:16
So needing to know exactly where we are is GPS.
Kelly Holley-BockelmannGUEST
44:21
And so, you know, LISA is really going to be developing that technology.
Kelly Holley-BockelmannGUEST
44:26
The communication, laser communication, is going to be something that we'll need to have prepared.
Kelly Holley-BockelmannGUEST
44:32
And so all of these technological pieces, which have nothing to do with gravitational waves, are being developed and will be really useful for things that are our nation's priorities.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
44:44
Wait a minute.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
44:45
Did you just imply that you are on the cusp of technology that will give travel through the solar system the coordinate equivalent of what GPS does on Earth's surface.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
45:02
So it'll be a solar system positioning system, not a global positioning system.
