That's an interesting angle I hadn't considered.

Although, wouldn't building a moon base first make more sense? Walk before you can run, sort of thing? Or even Venus, since it's closer.

You'd have to convince Elon Musk. Me, I'd go large geosynchronous space station first.

Go get a massive asteroid and build a facility out at L1 Lagrange point.

L1,L2,L3 are unstable. Better build it at L4 or L5, which are stable.
