In response to your message of Fri Dec  4 07:53:17 1981:

   I don't see this as realistic given the costs of getting mass into even
LEO. As long as this umbilical cord is uncut space colonists will be a
very select, privileged, \and/ \constricted/ group of people, rather like
present-day European constitutional monarchs----how does that fit in with
the dreams of your average L-5'er (or your average Ghenghis Khan liberal,
to use a metaphor favored by participants in this digest)?
