Earth limited by ASML and constraints to 3-5 years before mining/constructing moves to space.

Earth limited by ASML and constraints to 3-5 years before mining/constructing moves to space. | he would exponentially expand at any rate he possibly could, but he's limited by ASML machines and a few other constraints that will keep us on Earth for three or four or 5 years. Then we'll be in space. We'll be mining in space. We'll be constructing in space.
