Oops, my bad.

I'm surprised no one's pointed it out to me yet, either. ;)

On the webpage yourself, you indicate that the upper body (the one that goes bonkers) is set 90 degrees ahead of the primary's satellite. I just glazed over that and instead watched the movie. ;)

Sorry 'bout that.

Would you consider toying with adding objects at the L1 point? As was suggested, it's not terribly accurate, but for a general illustration of the mechanics, it's more than suitable. And that /is/ where the Halo is.

> but you didn't make that clear in your original post.

I claim this as defense, though. ;)
