  We shouldn't have been able to land on the moon using whiteboard engineering and calculator level computers, but we did

      In fact, in space we can make something which we can't do on Earth - weightlessness being the critical enabling factor. With capabilities to launch as cheap as Spaceship promises, we can develop space manufacturing rather soon.

      Because, as you've said, we can't manufacture complex objects in space.
