That wheel is actually the scale necessary to fly around the solar system and do interesting things. The need for massive water shielding, artificial gravity, closed loop life support for multi-year missions, and most important of all, immense plates for the hydrogen bombs that are the only practical way to propel such constructions.....all will require factories on the Moon and in cislunar space. NewSpace is hopelessly clueless on all of this.
"The knowledge that we have now is but a fraction of the knowledge we must get, whether for peaceful use or for national defense. We must depend on intensive research to acquire the further knowledge we need ... These are truths that every scientist knows. They are truths that the American people need to understand." (Harry S. Truman 1948).
"The greatest long-term threat to U.S. national security is not terrorists wielding a nuclear or biological weapon, but the erosion of America's place as a world leader in science and technology."
Gordon England: 1st Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security and former Secretary of the Navy

That is pretty awesome.
