Earth-Moon L1

I hold the opinion that L1 would be the location of a SPS to supply
energy to the mass driver, which will be on the near side of the
moon, directly in sight of L1.

Of course, anything at L1 would have to be orbit stabilized, but I
can't think of a better alternative to supplying energy to the
moonbase than a SPS.

We'll just have to get there before NASA so that we can claim the
best postion within the L1 region. Well, we can dream can't we . . .
