You make some interesting points. I'm not very optimistic about the possibility of human life in space.
Infrastructure/industry first - life (may be) later? There are whole pages and books on solar power from space, and I think it neatly avoids need for some unobitanium up there. Energy IS transportable by microwaves, and unearthly big structures in space also possible. But with Nuclear!!!!!1111 stealing whole show .. :( I mean, in some sense I just parrot the line from Sun Power, but with total investment in $80 mil INCLUDING those early 1970x studies it hard to compete with well-funded nuclear (arms) research. https://nss.org/space-solar-power-library/ https://groups.google.com/g/power-satellite-economics?pli=1 (not much activity there lately, but I started to read it from depths of time, chronologically)
Getting back to the slideshow, I really like it. Perhaps the time for each slide was too long. Maybe a greater number of photos or some camera movements or zooming in on the images would have made them less static.
Sure! I initially hoped to use some prominent video (film) footage, [1] but turned out I have no extension for easily extracting vids from yt, so I quickly backed down to fotos only Was fun little something. [1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcan7gSYkKo
