The most suitable orbit at(around terra) is the L5 orbit a it offers a
stability index higher than that of the other LIBERATION POINTS.
thank you
I looked over the Lagrange points as well and I am not seeing how it
be any better other than it being further from Earth.. And that has
its ups as well as downs... Just saying its better doesnt make it
so... Give us a reason why you believe it to be so much better...
stability index maybe higher but we are talking in terms of planetary
size here ... A space station would have more than enough room to be
stable in L1 and L2 or are we talking in terms of the Death Star sized
station????

Usually around here, we're talking something that would be measured in
at least hundreds, and probably thousands of metres, but not millions.
Of course, sometimes we do start talking about construction shacks
(tens of metres) or Banks Orbitals (millions of metres).
Does a major habitat even need to be at one of the stable points? An
orbit that would degrade in 300 years doesn't seem like a problem.
I was thinking the same thing.. The L, points tempting to use they
maybe. May not be the best place to put a station for space commerce
of varying types or for civilization building for that matter..
Something we wont know till we start moving out into space more...
Kinda like when the new world was being settled not every colony was
well thought out or well placed...
