The trick, according to a recent paper, may be to use pulsars as a form of interplanetary – and possibly even interstellar – GPS. Aren't pulsars a bit far away to be much good for interplanetary GPS?

Our astronauts have to hitch a ride with the Russians to get to our own ISS...
Navigating the solar system is the least of our space related problems right now and for the forseeable future...
How about our own way to get into LEO first before we worry about navigating to the outer planets?

I was always a firm believer in space travel until I finally read just how far the next ANYTHING is and--how much fuel and time it would take to reach there.
The only choice is to put people into some kind of non-aging hibernation for 400 years to get to the next ANYTHING.
Or we have to discover a new source of fuel. Solar energy is WAY off in the future. At least, that is the latest stuff on space travel. We are just TOO FAR AWAY from everything.
I think that there's a reason for that.

Then it would be IPS, as the “G” stands for “Geo” which means “Earth”! LOL!

Interstellar space travel is impossible, so it’s a moot point.
