I get it: a repair/assembly hub in orbit is harder than mass-launching throwaway comm sats....

But “harder” and “wiser” are not the same category. not one bit.

The LEO internet constellations: constant launch, constant replacement, constant re-entry. It’s short-term service economics, not civilization-building. Wasteful. Trash.

We’re normalizing throwing hardware into the most valuable region of near-Earth space with no real exit plan other than deorbiting trash. That’s not “infrastructure”.. It's planned debris. We already have global internet...

A permanent orbital industrial node, a space dock, sir, is about pushing manufacturing, repair, and assembly off Earth’s surface so we stop brute-forcing launches.
