What do you mean? The study assumed a hravy lift (120 tons) and a reusable space tug to get stuff from LEO to L5
The torus was also deemed optimal

>Several alternatives were considered. The Torus ultimately wins because it uses far less structural mass and atmosphere than a cylinder or sphere to provide 1G at 1RPM, and offers better vistas and lines-of-sight than dumbbells or beads.
