Astronauts may not have to go as far as L2 to be useful. Lagrange points exist in the Earth-moon system, and every other planet in the solar system also boasts Lagrange points with the sun.
It takes surprisingly little energy to travel between these points. That's because massive bodies like the sun and planets have gravitational fields that resemble mountains and hills, but Lagrange points are all at gravitational lowlands. Once set on the right path, spacecraft can coast along the gravitational contours of space between these lowlands, as if travelling on an interplanetary superhighway. Manipulating a cursor on a computer screen is one thing, but whether such brain chips could translate the more complicated tasks of daily life remained an open question until 2004, when John Donoghue and colleagues from Cyberkinetics in Providence, Rhode Island, implanted a 100-electrode chip in the brain of a 25-year-old man known as MN, who had been left paralysed from the neck down by a knife wound.
Over the subsequent nine months, MN successfully used this BrainGate chip to open emails, operate a television and even control a robotic arm (Nature, vol 442, p 164). It was a promising step, but the technology was far from perfect. "Although BrainGate1 worked well in many ways, at times the control was not satisfactory," says Donoghue. And by the end of the trial, fluids from the brain had degraded the chip. The team are now solving these problems, and earlier this year announced the start of a clinical trial for an improved version of the chip.
