Part 5 - Avalon:       In the original TMP Avalon represents the
first concerted effort       towards extraterrestrial
colonization with the location of the Moon       chosen for its
proximity and thus its immediate potential as part of a
space based industrial infrastructure. I see planetary and lunar
settlement as more concurrent activities with slightly lesser
priority       than orbital development because they present
less economical sources       of materials because of a higher
transport overhead. However, the Moon       suffers less from
these problems than Mars or any other planets by       virtue of
low gravity and so is a logical choice for sooner settlement
