How does a pejorative and subjective label as "absurdity" help us to
take this discussion forward?

Assuming that your meaning is obscured by a rogue "which", you're right,
but that fact does not support your claim of absurdity, nor negate my
points.

We already go to Mars - we have vehicles there already, and more on the
way - and are already mapping other non-terrestrial bodies and assigning
coordinates to their features. I have already posted the URL of evidence
to support this. Do you wish to challenge that?

Again, please explain how you would convert Martin coordinates to WGS84.
