Okay, thanks.
I was just having a little fun there, but it still seems odd...I mean, we were building factories in the 1700's or as early as the 4th century, depending on what you call a "factory". The idea came to us long before we thought we could actually GO somewhere else.
I think it's meant to be a sort of useful space age, colony supporting factory rather than say a factory that is just churning out brakepads for the best selling toyota
