The other thing I'm looking for is an article related to the aboveconcept.
Someone had determined how they could "ride" this ridge of equal gravityfrom one
location to another. The analogy they gave was a spaceman, who had justenough
fuel for re-entry and minor course adjustments, could follow this pathall the way
back home.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I've lost the name and formulafor a
concept dealing with gravity. The formula I'm looking for is how tofind the
location between two masses at a fixed position where the gravity isequal. At
this location, since the pull of gravity are equal between the twomasses, a third
"massless" object would experience "weightlessness".concept.

space. I'm trying to find the article again and the author.your help!
If anyone has any info, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you for
