Your quote, though, is talking about L1, L2 and L3, which are the unstable Lagrangian points. Parent was talking about L4 and L5, the stable points.

- akira2501 11y agoEarth-Moon L4 and L5 is still very unstable due to the Sun (and other planets). Earth-Sun L4 and L5 is more stable, but almost useless as a waypoint; however there are already naturally captured asteroids (and a lot of dust) already there. All orbits require station keeping in a dynamic solar system that is circling around a black hole.
