It might surprise you, but 50 years of ass dragging and little achievement is not standard fare

If there were full commercial interest and strong investment, a lunar industrial park within 10-15 years is entirely possible, the more money and infrastructure+hardware development, the faster
SpaceX only needed 10 years to go from literally who to today, and they've done a very respectable amount of work in that span of time
These things take time, but not the obscene lengths of time the corrupt lazy fucks at NASA claim it does

>fear is the only reason one could not like several years worth of daily spamming and shitposting
no amount of evidence makes you leave, since your purpose here is just to smear shit on the walls 24/7, not discuss science

please provide proofs for your claims
if they are actually true, you will be able to do such a simple task

what's the difference fuccboi, Refueling is Refueling, where it goes does not affect the fact that they refuel the things

You aren't thinking hard enough
Energy wise, it is far less expensive to send shit from the moon to LEO than from the surface of earth to LEO
thus, widescale mining operations would give us the ability to cheaply construct stations around earth and beyond
Lunar mining would also give us the ability to assemble and fuel probes and ships in space, far larger, far stronger and with far more instruments than any probe we could hope to send from earth

The moon has more than fusion fuel, it has lots and lots of delicious metal too, and will be humanity's gilded spaceport when we conquer the galaxy

>but my thing will totally happen if we have magic
matter is finite, there will always be a cost attached to something, no matter how efficient your manufacturing, as material costs will always be a thing
if there are costs, those costs need to be paid, somewhere down the line
it just so happens that the consumer of the product in question is a good point to have those costs paid back

This is something I doubt even the fucking Orks would make

reminder that Spheres are impossible, but SWARMS are not, and are ridiculously easy to make, what with them being just a fuckton of individual habitats and collectors in a foggy cloud around the star

you don't need to go make the whole thing in a day, you just make a single habitat, and then another, and another, gradually until you get your swarm
