Jake - Team A.I. Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Which president is credited with opening up the satellite system to the public? Clinton Actually, that would be Reagan. "In 1983, after Soviet interceptor aircraft shot down the civilian airliner KAL 007 in restricted Soviet airspace, killing all 269 people on board, U.S. President Ronald Reagan announced that the GPS system would be made available for civilian uses once it was completed."
