While I think this is very cool and would like it to happen, I don't think this is a good thing to be focusing on just yet. It seems like trying to build the HMS Victory before you've quite figured out how to build coastal clippers. A better short term goal might be to get space stations up at Earth-moons L4/L5 that we can use as shipyards, resupply and refuelling stations. I think only once we start building spacecraft in space will transport around the solar system become more commonplace.
