Chuckle, you really think it is stable as hell? :) You have more
confidence in it than I have. Sounds like `busy work' to me.
`Everything is `connected' by gravity' - yes, my point exactly - you
treat it like an isolated system. The `earth/moon system' can be
influenced by other celestial objects especially other near earth
orbits that may not be as regular as that of the moon.
