In "Dream Dancer" by Janet Morris, the first space platform
built above the Earth (about a thousand years before the events in the
book) is called "The Stump."  The origin of the name is "lost in
antiquity".  This smacks of an idea that has a basis in reality.  Is
this a nickname for the current space station project?  Did it perhaps
come from another book?
