100-diameter limit, re-re-revisited

Steve Higginbotham followed by George Herbert:
>>Yes, I read the article.  Fascinating.  But wrong.  100-diameters from

>>So all you'd really need is a lab about 1,300,000Km from Earth.

>Actually, no, the asteroid belt is the likely cantidate for that.
>The 1.3 million km. excludes both the Moon and the terrestrial Lagrange
