If we were to build a modest-scale rotating structure in Earth's orbit, would you either:

>Wait until Lunar industry can cheaply deliver parts to L4/L5 orbit?
or
>Bite the bullet and send up the materials from Earth the old-fashioned way, then assemble it there?

given current insufficient carbon nanotube production for a space elevator, I think Moon factories are more reasonable.
