Oh, very interesting – I didn't know that.

Scientists find a hidden route that can make Earth/Lunar travel faster, cutting fuel costs, and hopefully boost future moon missions. https://www.space.com/astronomy/moon/sc ... saves-fuel

Thought you might like this, if you hadn't already seen it.
Great song by the way![]()
are more fuel-efficient if you take a gravity-optimized route.
Fantastic!
Of course, the question of timing remains: how much longer
does such a completely different route take? How high is the
radiation exposure for the astronauts if the flight duration is
so long?
But if a lunar base were ever actually built, such route
optimization would be carried out even further in a variety
of ways. It will be very exciting when people live permanently
on the Moon — at a moon-base.
And where on the Moon ...
... will the lunar base likely be?
Thanks, Ciderwell!
