Who will design and execute this “seriously”? Given the current state of our government (shutting down as I type), I don’t foresee any “serious” projects from the feds any time soon. Even when there are serious people - everything will get politicized. So nasa is out. Ok so maybe a multibillionaire. Perhaps Elon musk? Yikes. Or Bezos? Maybe. The EU is kinda busy increasing their defense spend, preparing to engage in Ukraine so I don’t see them super excited to do this. China or India perhaps? Also, why shouldn’t it be completely closed loop? If you’re designing to address the myriad of scenarios that can unfold in space, I’d say you’d want that experience under your belt. Its already easy mode doing this exercise on earth you might as well give yourself a little challenge to capture lessons learned.
