Well, there's already a space industry, eg SpaceX etc. At some point I had considered applying there for a job (they wanted a data analyst with a physics background), but they only hire US citizens

I completely agree, but in order to create a "self-sufficient industry working in space" you first need a cheap way of getting to space and that's were SpaceX comes into play. After near/low-Earth orbit travelling becomes easily affordable I am sure SpaceX will venture (pun intended) even further
