There were some serious proposals back in the early 1990s to use the Shuttle External Tanks for orbital construction, but Gene Meyers and his Space Islands effort only muddied the waters on such prospects. Gene had me (and some other good people) sucked in pretty good for a while, but he is a hapless dreamer long on ideal and short on ability to get anything done.

To think what we could have accomplished in the past 35 years...
