I think the point to see is that it will be necessary to have industry
established in space in a very large scale to support free-standing
from celestial body space stations. This support should definately
come from asteroids. You have a surface to work without having to
import one. You have raw materials. Energy is free through solar
power. I think economically this is the feasible way to support
free-standing space stations, not from the gravity well of Earth or
any other major gravity well.
