Seriously, though...
These guys here appear to be working on some really interesting technology we could tap into to get the castle resupplied from low Earth orbit.
A couple of tidbits from their web page:
Our goal is to deliver propellant to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at less than 10% of the current cost. By using hydrogen gas gun launchers we will attain costs of $500/lb at the pump in LEO
Our solution blends a Jules Verne/Robert Heinlein concept of gun launch to space with 21st century hydrogen gas gun technology.
