The original Stargazer looked to the stars as a means of predicting the future here on earth.  The current godwalker has a different view - he knows that the starts ARE the future, and that mankind will one day move freely between them.  He is heavily involved in the ISS
project, and is putting in place long-term plans for future space travel.  If he manages to get enough momentum behind the move to space, he will kick out the current Stargazer and asscend himself.  The him the Lagrange points are of great importance, as they are the first
stepping stone on the path to intersteller travel.
