Space allows for effectively infinite expansion.

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.
