L5 News 1980s

L5 News cover, August 1980

Note: In the 1980s, the L5 News became a more general space publication. Since the purpose of this section of the website is to preserve news about the L5 concept and the L5 Society, rather than general space news, only selected articles are presented for the 1980s. They are in HTML format.
