Yes, but the infrared radiators for a single megawatt are apx the size of 4 tennis courts. Until there’s a space elevator, that’s a tremendous amount of resources to get into orbit.
Yea, because the only resources in the entire universe are only on our planet. There’s absolutely none out there where there’s little to no gravity well to fight against right?
He didn’t mention the timeframe, he just said until we do; so it could be a few decades, centuries, or even millennia before space mining is a reality.

Sure, but we’re not doing anything to mine or manufacture in space.
And we can’t, until we do.
True enough.
I eagerly await OP’s space mining operations, which Elon has promised to start doing for a decade but simply hasn’t because he just didn’t wanna.
