"What do we do when the L2 point is filled with broken robots?"
Could that happen?
- GlenTheMachine 7y agoUnclear. L2 is an unstable Lagrange point, so the robots wouldn't just stay put. But that doesn't mean they would leave, either, necessarily. They could end up in funky Lissajous orbits and go flying through L2 regularly. The orbital mechanics around Lagrange points are weird.
