No you can’t just build and build there are planning laws and you know other structures in the way. Space allows for effectively infinite expansion. In theory you could build a structure billions of kilometers across obviously you would never actually do that but the point is you could so it’s effectively infinite.
If you try building a 20 km building on Earth people are going to get mad at you and also you need to buy land which kind of gets expensive assuming the land is even available which often it won’t be assuming it’s even stable enough to construct on which often it won’t be.
no, it does not. it costs thousands of usd to lift single kilogram of material to orbit, so the expansion there is effectively very fucking limited.
whatever you can do in space, you can do on ground far more cheaper.
you are watching to much scifi, this isn’t star trek.
I think you’re missing my main point which is that it’s possible to do it If reusable spacecraft become available.
Your objections make no sense if such a technology exists.
