Route uses far side gravity

Instead of sticking close to earth, this route takes advantage of gravity on the far side of the moon for extra boost, and even keeps communication lines open with earth (a problem that tripped up Artemis 2).
The team hopes that by including solar gravity in future studies, they'll unlock even more savings. They're pretty excited about where this could lead for space exploration.
