It is exciting to think that something like Kalpana One could be up there for less than half the mass we thought it would take.I agree, but the situation is much better than that. The original Kalpana One has a mass roughly three orders of magnitude more than a small ELEO settlement. Seehttp://space.alglobus.net/papers/Easy.pdffor details.Actually, Kalpana One wouldn't need much modification to make an excellent ELEO space hotel, though an inclined orbit would be more visually appealing for passengers.Main thing is that rotation rate should probably be quite a bit lower. Maybe lunar g at the hull.
