Assuming a million tonnes per person (10^9 kg per person) if you take
apart the moon, that comes to 10^13 people. If you want to take apart
mars, earth, venus, and mercury the number quickly goes up.

Even if you assume the asteroids alone the number is 10^12. Now ask
yourself is a billion kg per person too high or too low?
