    What’s a commercial space station going to do? Maybe if there was a bunch of solar panels to maintain and build out in space, but otherwise, it’s just a boring ultra wealthy hotel.

      Its hard to imagine a future where humans expand into space without space stations.

          “Why ever would we move to North America when everything we need is right here?”

          All the reasons people came to America will eventually be valid reasons to move to space. I don’t expect it will happen in my lifetime but, provided humanity continues to exist, it will happen.
