Pulsars Space Positioning System in Construction (USS Enterprise is coming near you)

Before people could travel across the ocean’s captains use to sail next shore in order to see where they are going. Then of the inventors created compass that showed sailors the way across the ocean waters. Now, we reached new limits–space. Since that time US Army created and funded the program for installing G.P.S. into satellites which later provided humanity with devices that shows us directions. But in space we cannot find a position with our old G.P.S. technology but:

Today, Bertolomé Coll at the Observatoire de Paris in France and a friend propose an interstellar GPS system that has the ability to determine the position of any point in the galaxy to within a metre.
Their idea is to tune in to the signals from four pulsars: 0751+1807 (3.5ms), 2322+2057 (4.8ms), 0711-6830 (5.5ms) and 1518+0205B (7.9ms), which each generate regular millisecond radio signals.
