Mastering Space Commutes Before Lunar Construction

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have created an open-source dataset and software that maps 1,000,000 potential orbits in the complex and chaotic region between Earth and the Moon, aiming to improve navigation and stability for future lunar missions and infrastructure. Only about 9.7% of these orbits are stable over three years, with notable stability around Lagrange points and certain distant orbits, which could serve as strategic locations for lunar bases and gateways.

The 3 Body Problem's Implications for Nuclear Warfare.

Physicists and military planners are warning that the world of atomic superpowers is about to escalate to three from two, which could lead to not only global races for new armaments but also thermonuclear war. The looming era could encourage “states to resort to nuclear weapons in a crisis,” they warn. The jump from two to three can produce a counterintuitive jump in complexity, as Newton found to his dismay. Despite the prospect of complicated new threats and uncertainties from three atomic superpowers, experts say that the existential threats of the tripolar world could be managed successfully by keeping the lines of communication open and interacting.
