Fantastic lecture, the last part where it got technical was something of a fabulous surprise. I was engrossed all throughout

It is good to learn about all these things, in particular to discover this ICON company that does the 3d printing of very efficient houses. It was good to hear Miss Morgan cite the necessity for all players cooperating to make space work, and that she mentioned Starship in her talk too. Good questions from the audience as well.

In the initial goals of construction, where is the consideration of maintenance, repair, and recycling for all the infrastructure. The importance of those in the ensuing decades will be critical to the long term life of the human community. These need to be included to eliminate the need of constantly transporting new equipment from earth, or even creating land fill for the buildings, vehicles (construction, transportation, flight), pressure suits, buildings) as they each reach there effective lifespan.

Great discussion. We should figure out orbital infrastructure, robotic asteroid mining, and automated solar sail matter delivery first. Or at least at the same time as lunar infrastructure. Then we should go to Venus before Mars. There is breathable oxygen in the upper atmosphere of Venus! And, it’s closer. Mars it just a rest stop on the way to the gas giant moons.

I don't think you are considering the human inventive or creativity in case of a dissaster, like that of the Apolo 13. In that event, you HAVE to have several options to take, as scape routes. That is what saved Apolo 13's crew, creativity of NASA ground crew plus spare parts on board Apolo 13. I recall a poster that reads, "No amount of planning can take the place of blind luck". Lets not leave all to blind luck. A single ship to mars is not practical, there has to be a series of stages to fuel it up to Mars, and back from Mars. A set of small fuel stations on the way to Mars could also be the alternative route to bring'em back to earth, in case of another "Apolo 13" event. This line of thought is NOT THE UNIQUE and FINAL.
