Okay, who's building this, and where?

Rob, there are times that the International Space Station is blatantly visible to the Mk1 Eyeball.

The ISS is in LEO, though; it's approximately 350km above the Earth's surface. The Earth/Luna L5 point is approximately 384,000km from
the Earth's surface, depending on where Luna is in its orbit; that's three orders of magnitude of difference from LEO. Stellvia isn't
three orders of magnitude larger than the ISS...

Even so, I think that if the sun catches it just right...

Besides, isn't there room for more than just one station at a Lagrange point? If one were to get sufficiently crowded, then that would surely become
noticable, yes?

ETA: Just looked at the current Stelvia page... Even though most of the textual content will probably remain unchanged, I'm guessing that the page as a
whole is in for a heck of an overhaul.
