raptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fréchet. We currently target 1.5.1, 1.6.1, and 1.7.x. <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly… | <egg> also 4e16 m * 2^-52 is uncomfortably large

<discord-> w​aptdragon3. — how would that work though? wouldnt any movement away lead to a runaway gravitational force to one of the bodies? or does orbiting it cause the forces to cancel? (or am i completely misunderstanding it?)
<discord-> A​cer_Saccharum. — It isn't actively unstable like a pencil balanced on it's point
<discord-> A​cer_Saccharum. — More like a ball on a perfectly flat surface
<discord-> A​cer_Saccharum. — With a flat area around the point, and small slopes either up or down as you get further away from the point
<discord-> A​cer_Saccharum. — Additionally, L1, L2, and L3 are as far as I know only unstable in the direction of the line they form
<discord-> A​cer_Saccharum. — I think they're stable in all directions perpendicular to the sun-planet axis
<discord-> A​cer_Saccharum. — L4 and L5 are stable in all directions
<discord-> A​cer_Saccharum. — but it's not like they suck you in
<discord-> A​cer_Saccharum. — neither do you orbit them like you orbit a planet

<discord-> D​amien. — @waptdragon3 a Kerbin-Mun L1/L2 orbit needs stationkeeping about once every 5 days. One on the Earth-Moon L1/L2 points need it about once a month
<discord-> D​amien. — a craft in the Sun-Earth L1/L2 points needs SK once every 1-2 years or so
<discord-> D​amien. — so yeah they're unstable but still practical

<discord-> S​ir Mortimer. — @Zvq delete all your debris. delete all your asteroids and make sure there are no new one generated. delete the `<KSP directory>\GameData\Squad\Parts\Misc\PotatoRoid` folder.
