    Can we all get on the same page that this is pretty dumb no matter who pitches it? I don’t need the equivalent of ICBMs but for a book or whatever.

      I mean, I could think of this as an extension of existing space infrastructure, allow using the spaceport as hub for extra-fast delivery.

      The problem is this require said spaceport to existed in the first place, which we still have exactly zero of it.

        Okay, I can get behind this idea if it means building the things in space because we actually have the ability to extract resources from asteroids or something. The science side of me is hella tickled by that.

        I mean, logically, we probably have everything on our planet to sustain ourselves. We would never actually need to do that. But still, tickled by that idea.
