Lee,
I read the space study, and the only thing that follows your statement of
"space
resource mining becomes practical at $100 a pound to LEO" is the He3 mining
section.  I.E. lunar He3 could be cost competative to current electric
productino fuels at about $100 launch costs.  (Of course that assumes you have
a
He3 burning reactor.)

Is that what you were refering to?
