    Isn’t the company behind this just a PO Box and a guy making Blender videos in his home office?

    It’s Orbital Construction or something like that. There big claim to fame was a rig that loosely stuck together some metal trusses in a parking lot. Somehow they plan to turn this into an orbital assembly machine that takes metal rods and makes trusses in space, for some reason. If you’re already sending up metal rods, you could just send up the frames.

    How they turn some metal girders into space habitats, I have no idea.
