it must be a joke cuz it makes no sense at all. it just tells u howthe missile corrects its path based on where it is and where it isn't but the original question was how does it know where it is!

rxactly. how can it know where it is by subtracting where it is from where itsn't or where it isn't from where it is when it doesn't know where it is in the first place?! sure it knows where it isn't but u need to kwo whwere it isn't before you can find the distance from where it is from where it isn't to find out where it is.

nwo i think about it. how does it know where it isn't when it doesn't know where it is? i mean if it doesnt know where it is, how does it know if where it isn't isn't where it is?
