It's great if the resources go from space, to space and stay the hell away from major gravity wells.

So space station colonies or colonies on dwarf planets and smaller moons.

Remember, a good 90% of the cost is "how do we leave the planet" and then most of the rocket is shed. All that waste wouldn't be needed if we never touch down on planets to begin with.

Hence the interest in a lunar base, especially one that can produce fuel from local water
