For the others like themselves that are moving up from Earth and out into the wide home off the range. Also for the BIG habitats that will be aborning about then at the L points and in Earth and cis-lunar orbits. The communities that are just beginning on the bigger asteroids, especially those that make the circuit between Earth and Mars orbits, and folks that said no to the gravity well and stuck with phobos/deimos, or maybe settlements on Luna, though, theyll have pretty good access to the necessaries of life. Basically, though, it will be competitive for prospectors to supply any installation in space that needs anything heavy or bulky that they cant themselves fabricate. Prospectors should remain quite competitive, even once the beanstalk or a skyhook go into business.
