The cost will be coming down, and it’s better and cheaper to build large ships in space with material mined on the moon than large ships in space with material mined on Earth.

I spent 45 years in aerospace, from before Space Shuttle, through the first Orion launch, and until we get more Martian voters, there is no demand for that kind of expense.

The economic picture you paint doesn't stand up to reality.
