on the sea VS at sea
Hi,
This sentence is taken from a book:
"A new and exciting era of positioning on land, on the sea, and in space began with the launch of the first GPS satellite on Feb 22, 1978"
(1) Can I change ON THE SEA to AT SEA without breaking grammar and distorting the original meaning?
(2) If you could comment on ON THE SEA vs AT SEA?
