Space Settlements: A Design Study

National Space Society

A comprehensive plan to build a colony in space from lunar materials.

This study was done in the seventies and sponsored by NASA.

After reading some of it, there appears to be some complications.  The amount of mass needed presents a problem because there's so much of it.  Who would pay for this?

I don't mean to be critical, but if it isn't profitable, it probably won't ever be done.
