Default NASA considers outpost beyond moon's far side


NASA's
associate
administrator for human exploration and operations, a team is being
formed
to develop a cohesive plan for exploring a spot in space known as the
Earth-
moon libration point 2 (EML-2)."


Could someone please explain to me how you "explore" a spot in space? But,
we would save money on sample return containers.

Several years ago we were in the lounge on a cruise ship. There was an
announcement - We are about to cross the Arctic Circle. Three women jumped
up and raced to the window, almost knocking people over, to get a look at
it. They were disappointed that they missed it.
