Nasa says an interplanetary superhighway discovered by one of its engineers will make space travel simpler.

And we don't even have one from Hawaii to the mainland.

BTW, aren't those Lagrange points full of meteors and such?

Thanks for the ping...

Gerard O'Neill (whose ashes are now in orbit) had a beautiful plan for the Lagrange points of Earth-moon system. (beginnings of the L-5 Society).

I saw a presentation by Buzz Aldrin (in the 1980's) of his neat transfer-orbit continuous loop concept linking Earth and Mars.

So...
I'd love to see a good, detailed "roadmap" of this concept.
