This is a negative sum game - to stand out, I embellish my resume, so now you have to do the same and we're back on square 1 but the efforts are spent. Do we want to turn job seeking into a contest of resume designers? Do we have a fee

Yes, it will require a plant on the surface of the Moon, but the technological chain is rather short, so maybe it could be somewhat limited in mass. You'll need energy, which could be collected with solar panels, the system, like bulld

A Soyuz with a booster - a Blok D - launched on Proton together would be much cheaper and likely much safer than a Shuttle launch. That would be enough to get to 540 km height orbit, bring two or three people there, bring spares, make an EV
