Numerical, self-consistent, n-body integrations of the solar system show significant indications of medium-term (i.e. several million-year) stability for the various planet-Sun L4,L5 configurations. A progress report of our computations, emphasizing the inner solar system, will be given. There exist interesting possibilities for these locations (including the Earth) as the sites for longer term scientific applications, both pure and applied.
