[HereForNow]

Now having the power of a quantum computer aboard a satellite, controlling the assembly process of thousands of these fully animated components, assembling both inner and outer portions of the station is where it all begins. The hard part if NASA would have done it. 
Here on Earth, we could have Green-Living like never before.

In space we would not have to launch a singal astronaut to begin with.

Satellite swarm self-assembling a large array in orbit
One focus of the workshop will be the coordinated motion of satellite swarms. Primitive goal-oriented instincts will be coded into the control system of each satellite, guiding it to complete a small task, whilst remaining unaware that a more complex undertaking is being achieved collectively. This is how ants and termites behave in nature. In this way, a satellite swarm may be given a collective intelligence, allowing it to achieve useful tasks in space.

Large structures could be built, or many satellites could fly in formation to simulate the performance of much larger apertures than can be launched, whole, into space.
