From: utzoo!decvax!cca!jnc%MIT-CSR@MIT-Multics@sri-unix Newsgroups: net.space Title: Lagrange points Article-I.D.: sri-unix.1653 Posted: Sun Jun 6 18:33:09 1982 Received: Mon Jun 7 01:14:25 1982 Reply-to: JNC@MIT-XX I am rereading an old favourite, "Fall of Mondust", and I find references to things stuck in Lagrangian points of the Earth-Moon system. Can anyone tell me who was the first person to come up with the idea of sticking orbiting things there? This book is copyright 1961, but the idea must predate that. -------
