Why do they need to "make a living"? What has been described here is
a fantastic world were people live in beautiful homes constructed by
robots using materials extracted for free from non-terrestrial
sources, right? You don't have to do anything but sit around being
waited on hand-and-foot by robots that can do anything and everything
for you. You can focus your energies on art, entertainment, mental
pursuits, or just plain relaxation. Wow, sounds like a great place
to me. Where do I sign up?

No, I don't buy it either. If it sounds too good to be true...

Heaven, Valhalla, or various other final resting places.)
