Furthermore, there are no GPS systems on the moon to help guide a craft to its landing spot.

The fact that this line is in the article just reminds me how dumb tech illiterate most people are.

I'm willing to let that one pass just because it's something people have gotten so used to here that it's likely taken for granted by many. I'm guessing that line got far more, "oh right, duh" reactions than, "wait what!?" ones.

I personally think this should be one of our priorities while planning a permanent base. If we start with a constellation of gps/communications satellites, it will make everything else so much easier.
