So, forgive Overloading the Lagrange points wouldn't cause damage to the moon, per se, due to gravity stress, but would, instead, drag the objects of our their stable position and towards one of the two other objects. Not quite as dramatic as doing damage to the moon, but still... not...

Ah ok, so out of them, it's L1 and 2 you need to worry about overloading a bit more. What about L3, being way the hell on the other side of the planet. Now, I'm just thinking out loud. Not at all, you're pretty much leading me to where my mind was headed anyway - but as I said, I've got no...

That's actually why I was asking about the insignificant mass - I figured, if you overloaded one or more Lagrange points, that it wouldn't just destablize the object within the point, but have an (undesirable) effect on the other two objects. But, for me anyway, the size and scope of what...

So, I'm working through some ideas dealing with Lagrange points. I understand that, the rotation and mass of 2 objects in space create stable areas where an object of "insignificant Mass" compared to the objects it's balancing against, allows for the placement of an object in a stable area...
