    Hopefully not to far off topic but....the other day I took my 9th grade
basic science class to a showing of the Space Station in an IMAX theater. It
was the best NASA promo I could ever have hoped to see. I don't know about
the kids but I loved every second of it! Hope I can find it on video.

Anyway, one of the shots showed two astronauts handling a paper map while
trying to figure out what part of the earth they were over. I suppose they
wouldn't have much time to make a determination. Now the map thing got me
thinking. Would it be possible to use a GPS receiver in the ISS? Probably
not I suppose.

Thanks,
