Steven Den Beste Strawman

write did not propose to shoot the mass directly to the L5 point, then
Ben Beste seems to be wrong. Yeah, he just left a step out of the process. Like I said, there seems to be lots of confusion on this score, and even people who were paying attention at the time seem to be getting kind of hazy about the details of what was proposed back in the days of disco. I did not even know the originally proposed proposition, how could I
trounce it than? Oh, I highly recommend getting Gerard O'Neill's "The High Frontier". It's simply the definitive work on the subject of use of space resources, space industrialization, and space settlement.
