Col. /Professor Parkinson definitely deserves the prize, pushing GPS was
not the best career move but he had a vision and we have to thank him for his
commitment.
Attached a picture of one of his visit with his boss at TI.
A peace of trivia because of my security clearance I had to brief the CIA
and NSA and when asked as to what cost and size would eventually be I said
the size of a brick and $ 3000. I was declared the company idiot lost
total credibility and it was the main reason I left TI. I was wrong but even
using Moore's law it would have been impossible to predict today's products.
Had I had the vision they would have taken me directly to the looney bin.
