Love me some space. Can you write about the concept of moving all manufacturers off the planet, would that be feasible? Do we have all the minerals we need outside of the earth?

It depends where you go. On the Moon? Sadly no, it has only some of the metals needed. Mars has them all. Anything we manufacture on Earth could be manufactured on Mars. The asteroid belt also has everything needed. We could still make some things on the Moon. The low gravity means very little fuel cost to launch from there. But asteroids have even less gravity. This is why the focus has been on a Mars mission and an asteroid mission recently.
Will you buy a ticket too mars from spacex?
No. My dream is to live underwater.
