Whoever Builds Something Here Will Be Rich Beyond Measure

Lagrange points, areas of equilibrium in our solar system where gravitational forces balance out, are valuable locations for space exploration. These points require little energy to maintain, making them ideal for long-term space missions. Currently, humans heavily use only two of these points, but in the future, more Lagrange points may be utilized for various purposes such as solar observation, outer space observation, and potentially even hosting human colonies.
