My company has been pushing me to get registered in numerous other states. I have been approved to sit for the Oklahoma test in October and my Arkansas app should be approved at the next board meeting. Kansas application is almost completed.Lately, I have been studying Martian Coordinate Systems in the event that oil is found there. It appears that the latest system runs increasing longitude value to the east. I know that the crater known as Airy-0 is the basis of the prime meridian, but it is 0.31 miles across, so I think we need to send a crew to survey the bounds of the crater and come up with a definite center point. I can think of a few precise surveyors who I would want to see on Mars, determining the exact center of the crater. Of course, it would probably have to be conventional field work due to the lack of GPS signals. I wonder if there is some method to determine the true boundary of a crater, similar to the Texas gradient boundary for riparian boundaries. That would make for some nice billable hours.

That's MCS73. I think there is a new datum proposed. 😆
