This reminds me of a very dumb column I read a long time ago about moon mining.
Wouldn’t it be terrible to mine the moon? You would look up and see dust clouds covering it. All the natural ecosystem being ripped up for pit mines. It’d be awful.
If you said “that’s not how things would work on the moon”, congratulations, you know more about how space works than the author.

Kind of like a fish saying nobody can live on land…
Space is really close to empty, but it’s not empty.
If something evolved to live in space, it would have ridiculously sensitive hearing to compensate.

Just because humans can’t hear construction noise in space, doesn’t mean it won’t piss of the neighbors

That sounds like the basis for some kick-ass sci-fi.
