The death certificate was the merger of L5 and NSI to form NSS, a few years
ago. However, what really killed L5 was the massive overdose of internal
politics that changed "we want to go!" into "rah, rah, go NASA!", and that
happened rather earlier.
The one exception to this is that L5 had a strong local-chapters setup, and
many of those chapters survived the merger and are still active. Some of
them are still doing useful things, unlike NSS HQ.
