Think I'm gonna call it for now. May reassess, but almost completely done!

 \abstract{  \OnePageChapter
 
-	There are a variety of approaches to finding and optimizing low-thrust trajectories in
-	interplanetary space. This thesis analyzes one such approach, namely the application of a
-	Monotonic Basin Hopping (MBH) algorithm to a series of Sims-Flanagan transcribed trajectory arcs
-	and its applications in a multiple-shooting non-linear solver for the purpose of finding valid
-	low-thrust trajectories between planets given poor initial conditions. These valid arcs are then
-	fed into the MBH algorithm, which combines them in order to find and optimize interplanetary
-	trajectories, given a set of flyby planets. This allows for a fairly rapid searching of a very
-	large solution space of low-thrust profiles via a medium fidelity inner-loop solver and a
-	well-suited optimization routine. The trajectories found by this method can then be optimized
-	further by feeding the solutions back, once again, into the non-linear solver, this time
-	allowing the solver to perform optimization.
+	Much work has been performed recently to utilize the increasingly viable technology of
+	low-thrust electric propulsion systems on missions of interplanetary scope. This thesis analyzes
+	a technique for the initial analysis of feasibility of utilizing a combination of low-thrust
+	propulsion systems and natural gravity flybys for missions to the outer planets. First, a method
+	for finding local optima by utilizing an interior-point linesearch algorithm to directly
+	optimize the entire trajectory as a Non-Linear Programming problem is presented. Then, a
+	Monotonic Basin Hopping algorithm is utilized to traverse the search space, improve the local
+	optima determined by the internal optimizer, and determine the global optima. This allows for a
+	medium-fidelity, fully automated global optimization of the low thrust controls and flyby
+	parameters for a given mission objective.

-	This will be an acknowledgement.
+	I owe just about everything that I am today to the circumstances that I grew up in and in no
+	area of my life is that more apparent than in my loving family. I'd like to thank them for
+	providing me with the emotional support I needed to grow confident in my own abilities and the
+	logistical support I needed to nurture my curiosities.
+
+	I'd also like to thank my girlfriend, Rachael, for supporting me through this process. This has
+	not been an easy time for me, and I owe a lot to your support this past year.
+
+	Finally, I'd like to give a huge thanks to Dr. Bosanac, who provided me with the structure I
+	needed to stay on track, the motivation I needed to really get the most out of this paper, and
+	the guidance I needed to finish this up. It's no exxageration to say that this thesis wouldn't be
+	written to anywhere near the level of quality it was without you.
