Would a satellite factory on the moon be better?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) December 30th, 2021 from iPhone

Let’s say we can find the materials we need on the moon’s surface to build a satellite, and fuel rockets.

Assuming existing rocket technology does not suddenly become obsolete, would it be more cost effective to send blueprints to the moon and build the satellites there, then fly them back into earth’s orbit.
