The Lagrangian Points

in science •  8 years ago 

I was having a conversation with someone about what to do with captured resources if space mining becomes a reality.... Do you think it'd be more practical to try and bring space resources to cislunar space and process them immediately, or "park" them in L4/ L5 and try to build a processing base/ space station there?

I think it really depends on your goals. You might want to keep it at the points if you want to use them in space expeditions, or keep them there in "long term storage". If you don't need to use them right away and want to use them to load up a ship to launch somewhere in the solar system, you would likely launch from there anyway so one less stop. If you want to send it down to Earth, the closer the better.
