Re: Communists on the moon !
Skylab was a relativly small space craft. Anything we are likely to put at an L4 L5 point is going to be much bigger. Especially if we build something with roational motion for internal gravity. That would have to be a pretty sizeable craft with a big enough radius to eliminate the detrimental physical effects on the human body of the difference in gravity along the length of your body. So we are talking about a large station with probably a multinational effort with room for dozens if not hundreds of full time occupants. Such a station will have pretty significant mass and so will not be as affected nearly as much by people moving around inside it.
