The SpaceX plan of refueling a Starship in orbit is ridiculous. Something like a dozen launches to fuel it for one trip to the moon.
Its ridiculous unless you are spaceX, in which case it is job security.
"This just in: a micrometeor hit the SpaceX fuel depot at Lagrange, instantly destroying 61 tonnes of liquid hydrogen and benzene and everything within 10 kilometers. Structures as far our as 40,000km we're damaged by debris in low-friction space. 7 FuelX crew within the blast range are missing. Neil Degrasse Tyson's response commentary on an earlier broadcast of this story has been removed by censors of Donald the Second for its content."
