That, alone, is useful to my evolving knowledge base, which just hasn't ever thought much about comparative approaches to spacecraft stability. And the article does not do what the talk page does (see

Does anyone know of any sources that would help improve these two deficiencies in both articles? I would be happy to help improve the articles if so.

Above, I had suggested that I would propose a merge to get a wider discussion, once a second editor weighed in to support the idea of making any change at all. Well, within a single day, two editors have weighed in and started discussing, with apparently opposing ideas on the matter. So I will NOT
