Mars Needs GPS
One almost pictures Sean Connery's Jim Malone at NASA Headquarters: "He pulls out a knife, you pull out a gun. Europe puts a GPS system around Earth, you put one around Mars." Yep, NASA is researching putting a GPS network in Martian orbit, so that future human and robotic explorers on the Red Planet will be able to know exactly where they are. Also, presumably, win that Coke contest.
