Anyone have a gif/video of the 'ballistic capture' method?

  FYI - here is a video of a Hohmann transfer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNdB3nmAl_0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNdB3nmAl_0

    This link describes "Halo Orbits" about the L1 Lagrangian point of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Mars isn't even mentioned.

      That's because using it with Mars is a novel concept. The mechanism, though, is the same.
