BTW, any WWIII task will only be accomplished by an all out first
strike effort, and if it were launched from the tethered platform
that's merely 2r from the core of Earth (that distance being 6371 km
from Earth's surface) is not such a great fly-by-rocket distance to
travel, especially when having the gravity assist of Earth working on
behalf of those items launched towards Earth, which should arrive
within less than 10 minutes.



If' you'll read the Space Command pdd I just posted, you'll
see they see the potential of L points also. Scroll down to
page 30 and below, they have the orbits all plotted out.
