Nuts --> Lunar solar-power station
From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE at MIT-MC>
David Criswell has looked at lunar power stations.  They will be
discussed at the l-5 sponsored space citizen convention in LA
April 4-6 (if you don't know about this and want to, ask me).
Criswell is, of course, a lunar nut; but a rather sound one, and
he can make a pretty good case for "go to the moon with shuttles
first; THEN worry about SPS, whether lunar or orbital; either
way you gotta build out of SOMETHING and lunar materials are
cheapest..."
	The L-5 sponsored citizens convention will also feature
architects and engineers beginning serious design of a luar
colony.
