I have been following the "gravitational slingshot" concept for a few 
years.  This is well-documented "old news".  I have recently heard of how 
a NASA scientist used "fuzzy logic" to enable a crippled Japanese 
satellite, trapped in an Earth orbit, to get to the Moon - with less fuel 
than would be required for a Hohnmann (?) orbit.
Could somebody comment on this, please?
Karl
