Astronomer royal calls for 'Plan B' to prevent runaway climate change

61. Actually...

Any of them that can produce it's product via 3d printing and since the premise was that dead satellites would be turned into sintering material to produce the literal framework for a materials processing infrastructure rather than try to export that infrastructure from a gravity well...and that's the whole point. By building the infrastructure to use materials already floating around in space you negate the cost of having to lift them off the planet to produce X.

Production in nearly every industry is so automated already that humans rarely compete with robots unless it's for pennies a day so saying that it can't be done because it needs humans to do it is a fallacious argument at best.

Here's a small example of what can be done via 3d printing

And I would remind you that in an earlier post you yourself mentioned the fact that billionaires were willing to pay a high premium just to take a short ride into space...So who knows what they will put on order.
