From what I understand the point of balance between the Earth and the Moon is full of dust and such.

Just means you have to plow the route regularly, right? LOL!

how can a Lagrange point collect dust? it's just an area of balanced gravity between two masses. there's no attractive force to that location in itself.

if an object reaches that point, why won't it just continue on it's trajectory? there's no opposing force to bring it to a stop, like retrojets on a craft. am i missing something?
