Is home schooling allowed? Or can a group of parents (one can teach math, one Lojban, one geography, etc.) band together to form a school? It should be easy to wire the whole town for Internet. Communicating with Earth, though, presents a problem. The station is 150 Gm from Earth (it's at the Sun-Earth L4 or L5 point, right?), so it takes 500 seconds to send a message to Earth, and 500 seconds for the reply to come back. This means just sending an email (assuming the server doesn't send any command until it has received the reply to the previous one) takes 108 minutes! (not counting tearing down the connection) If you're in the space station, browsing a site on the Earth, and your browser keeps the connection open, you click a link, and almost 17 minutes later the page comes up. There are at least three Earth stations for communicating with the space station. With only 32 km, it would be difficult in the ag tube to grow both bananas and apples. If there's more than one ag tube (as there may be more than one town tube), that solves that problem. Will there also be lakes for growing fish and seaweed?
