"G" can be ANY number you like
as all it does is differentiate between
bodies percieved to be fixed in media (Time/space)
and bodies percieved to be varying in media.

Here is some of what my tutorial has to say on the subject,
including how to set up a mass standard
making "G" a defined constant, like "C".

===========

When Einstein indicated that the "equivalence" of inertial and gravitational
forces was the cornerstone of General Relativity,
he was effectively restating Newton's observations about inertia forces
(force(B) = mass(B) * acceleration(B))
and gravitational forces (force(B) = mass(A) * mass(B) * G / distance^2)

These two different ways (Inertia and gravity) of looking at the same thing
(An interaction) come about because of the weaknesses in man's two-body
math. To simplify two-body problems, one body is perceived to be fixed in
media ( Time and space) and the second body is perceived to be varying in
media. Gravitational forces are associated with bodies perceived to be fixed
in media, whereas inertia forces are associated with bodies perceived to be
varying in media. For example, in the Sun/Earth two-body system, the Sun is
perceived to be fixed in media ( Time and space), and the Earth is perceived
to be varying in media. Thus the Earth gets the 365.25 days ( Time) and the
93,000,000 miles ( Space), and the Sun gets the Universal Gravitational
Constant "G" to balance the equation.

mass(Sun) * G = distance(Earth)^3 / time(Earth)^2

As interactions are symmetrical, and as the time period of a system is
shared by both bodies,
the correct formula is:

mass(Sun) * G(Sun) = distance(Earth)^3 / time(common)^2

Note that if we perceive the Earth as varying in media and we assign it the
distance, we must assign the Sun, which we are perceiving to be fixed in
media, the "G". Also note that the time period of a system is shared by both
bodies. One of the great omissions of contemporary physics is not specifying
the particular bodies to which constants and variables apply.

As explained in the tutorial section of this program, the Universal
Gravitational Constant "G" serves two functions. First, it differentiates
between bodies perceived to be fixed in media and bodies perceived to be
varying in media ( Bodies perceived to be fixed in media have the constant
"G" associated with them.). Secondly, it sets the units of mass, after the
constant "C" has set the units of space, and the selection of a clock has
set the units of time. The best mass standard would be the mass of the
celestial body ( The Earth or the Sun?) with the most precise satellite
orbital data ( Periods and distances). The mass of the body would be set to
some convenient value, and powers of ten would be used to scale the mass
units to a comprehensible range (one to ten) for the problem under
consideration.

As also explained in the tutorial, there are two distances, rather than one
distance, involved in two-body interactions. The conventional practice of
using one distance ( As in the equations above) leads to errors, which must
be compensated for by the introduction of a pseudo property called "reduced
mass".

The fact of the matter is, that interactions between bodies are symmetrical,
and the concepts of gravitational and inertial forces come about because of
the presence (Gravitational forces) or absence (Inertia forces) of the
constant "G" in various equations.

To make my point clear, let us compare the interaction between masses to the
interaction between charges.
Let's express the charge equation as:
force = charge(A) * charge(B) * F / distance^2
And let us call "F" the universal "flubber" constant.

Can you imagine people talking about flubber waves, flubber forces, etc?
(Or for that matter permittivity waves, permittivity forces, etc.)
