But to tell how fast they "should" be orbiting each other, you need to know how massive they are, which is calculated from G and how fast they are orbiting each other. Using G to calculate G in such a manner is circular reasoning; it isn't reliable. It is probably the same everywhere, but we can't be certain until we send people over there to take local measurements.
