True, but given absolute physical constraints on getting things into
orbit (even with elevators), transport to new locations (even with
sardine-like status packing) and reproduction at the other end (allowing
for artificial wombs, high pregnancy rates etc) - even with the most
giving parameterisations there's still more people in the Sol system by
far. Just not enough time in the gzg-timeline for much different to fall
out sorry.

Production wise though you're spot on about the "centre of gravity" of
the production distribution being potentially anywhere.

Cheers

Beth
