That stupid. The whole system being built is a GPS tracking system to
space and direct flight paths.

As I've already explained, GPS does not provide tracking. What is being built
is a system that uses GPS to determine position, but that is all. The rest is
independent of GPS.

Why don't you read what he wrote? "A GPS tracking unit is a device that uses
the Global Positioning System ..."

I did, but he apparently did not, since he seems to think that the GPS itself
provides a tracking function, which is a common and rather serious
misconception. Nothing in GPS allows a user to be tracked.
