'supplies' made me think you were referring to Life Support.

Apologies.

Seeing 'getting to orbit is halfway to anywhere' in Solar System terms what you suggest is absolutely the goal. It's called 'in-situ resource utilization', or ISRU. Water as a Reaction Mass (either as itself in NTRS or as a source of hydrogen) is the core material ISRU will seek.

I played Everquest back in the day, with 22 million players worldwide. My guild had Australian, Japanese, American and various flavored European players. I lived in the UK.

An expansion came out and I browsed a game shop near where I worked to look for it.

Turns out the guy who worked in that store who struck up a conversation with me was the half-elf ranger I had just befriended in-game.

Crazy 1 in 6 billion chance.
