Just curious.
Well to be honest, I was wondering if NASA can't build a robot space tug to go out to the asteroid belt to pick up a suitable Icy Ice asteroid to mine/process into rocket fuel and a Metal Element asteroid to mine/process-*experiemental ore processing and raw materiel fabrication.
Because, once the robot space tugs have a viable re-fueling depot (in orbit) they can go back out to get more asteroids for exploration & processing for building materials.
We would only have to send up the exotic essentials for building our future space station/platforms.
Well, then it gets more complicated of course, but I just had to ask, we gotta start somewhere,...
Thanks to those who Do know better,... cheers!!!
