"Do you know her? (Erika DeBenedictis)?"

No. I have been intrigued by her history, and the application she chose to pursue. So young, and so talented!

Plus, she is pursuing, and taming, one of my pet interests, (the aptly named InterPlanetary Superhighway). While we are witnessing, extolling, and benefiting from our GPS system all over this planet, once you get a little altitude, it stops being as useful.

And on Mars or between planets, it doesn't do any good at all.

That's why we need a synthetic road-map to space such as Erika is providing.

With her program, and an appropriately advanced computer, future asteroid miners will be able to navigate efficiently and economically.

LaGrange Points are interesting all by themselves. To picture them dancing and swirling in a cosmic ballroom is like a fantasy!
