Constructing Large Spacefaring Vessels in Orbit

Building an orbital shipyard or dry-dock to safely construct large spacefaring vessels and craft while in orbit presents significant technical and logistical challenges. The feasibility of such a project within the next decade or even 25-30 years is uncertain. It involves overcoming substantial hurdles in materials science, robotics, and space operations.
