The researchers suggest that spacecraft could take advantage of the complex gravitational environment around the Moon to hide and launch surprise attacks on targets closer to Earth.
They could also be positioned near "choke points," areas where important or fuel-efficient routes converge, ready to intercept rivals.
This way, a country could compel an adversary to change its route or delay a mission without direct confrontation.
