Probably, and as much as I love the science fiction of space travel, real life me isn't so into have space truckers hauling dorritos to the moon.

This stuff creates environmental damage, tons of space debris, and the more activity there is in near earth orbits, the more possibility there is for conjunctions, which means moving your satellite and wasting fuel. It's just not that smart.

But we're gonna do it anyway.

creates environmental damage, tons of space debris, and ... wasting fuel.

So, pretty much, the things that humans excel at.
