It happens to be a very stable orbit- ing point for large objects, such as space colonies. This is where the L5 Society plans to hold their last meeting, whereupon we will disband the Society. This hold this meeting would require the con- struction of a space habitat large enough to hold the quorum, which should be a few thousand people. This means the industrialization of space will be so far along that it can't be stopped, and therefore the L5 Society will no longer be needed. lt. of marines ...microsoft!trsvax!cozadde ...laidbak!trsvax!cozadde ...ctvax!trsvax!cozadde
