    I’m not so sure that the belt will be our manufacturing base, at least in the beginning. It’s awful far away, and the moon already has a lot of the base resources we need

      Yeah def not in the beginning. Itll probably be moon->trojan asteroids-> skimming jupiter & asteroid belt ->outer planets & Keiper belt -> oort cloud

      I dont know if humanity would ever get to where people are living and working in the oort cloud, even if you gave us infinite time to do so. I do like the thought of generational ships in deep space though.
