Outer space aliens approach our planet and encounter the myriad of man-made satellites that orbit it. They whisk away the satellites and


take them for observation, inspection, curiosity‘s sake, whatever, never to return them again. What would be some of the effects of all the various satellites suddenly being taken away?

    Anyone who relies solely on GPS for navigating their automobiles around the city would be permanently lost.
    We could no longer spy on our enemies, nor they on us.
    Battle drones could not be used half way around the world.
    World-wide TV networks would go out of business.

    They would take ALL the satellites?

    The moon is a natural satellite.  So no more moon.  LOL

    And they'd probably send us a bill for cleaning up all the debris "satellites".  
    You know, all those loose parts and pieces from space launches.

    What about the ISS?  Would the crew be interviewed ... or interrogated?

      1.  Thanks for the clarification.  I’ve just edited the question to specify “man-made” satellites. 

      2. The description field already alluded to “all” of them even before I made the edit.

    Why are you giving yourself golden-tilde awards?

    It’s not an award, it’s just a different version of the tilde at the bottom of my post.

    Last summer, the Dish Network installer came out to put up a new dish. He showed me this device that you held up to see where Dish's 3 satillites were located in the sky.  Now I know which trees to remove in about 10 years to provide good reception. Wait! I don't need to remove any trees because there is another Dish Network sattillite over there. Cool.

    99% of the Worlds population would be taking Prozac because:

    1. GPS is gone and they don't know how to read a Map
    2. The communications infrastructure is down, Cell phones for the most part don't work
    3.  Netflix, Hulu, HBO etc are not working along with the rest of Cable/Dish/other.  Books are no longer in peoples houses, so people would stay inside because they have forgotten how to talk to their neighbors
    4. Militaries around the Globe would have to Stand down, no one knows how to operate in the Fog of War, Read Map, or Command on the Fly
    5. Terrorists without internet, cells phones, GPS would no longer be able to execute hatched plots
    6.  Modern Houses would fail to function since Nest and Ring would be offline

    The rest I will leave to your imagination
