Hi,
I am using version 1.0.370.0, updated to 1.0.400.0, and when loading the Lagragian Points - Earth & Moon system, it gets unstable virtually in the first minute of running. I attached a screenshot.
Edit: I've just downloaded 1.0.424.0, and it's the same.

L1, L2 and L3 are very unstable points. It's as if you try to get a reversed cone balanced: it's possible, but it is very improbable  L4 and L5, instead, are more stable (an object of trascurable mass could remain in orbit near them indefinitely) |

Just use the Lagrange Points button and see how stable they REALLY are.

I think the problem is L1 and L2 being around the moon, instead of around the Earth.

Yes... The L1 & L2 points seem to be even more unstable than they should be. I've thought the same thing.
It's possible that my math is wrong (which is why you should never use Universe Sandbox to launch rockets to other planets). Specifically I think that the calculation for the velocities of objects at those points may be slightly off, but I'm not sure.
(And the Lagrange point math hasn't been updated since 1.0.370.0.)

What do you mean? The rocketship? |

NeutronStar said he want launch rockets to other planets. I just said, that he should sit in the rocket |

Unstable? Not really. Nothing in the photo is...
L2 got off of Moon's hillsphere and L1 is orbiting the Moon. and Maybe L3 is not on the opposite orbit of the Moon. |

No one ever came to a decision or argument. So I see no reason.

Like I said originally... It's very likely that the L points are slightly off. They're definitely close, but they may not be perfect.

Compare them with the L-Points button...
