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

What the people in the teams to whose webpages I wrote the links down here are planning is one step further; they think about how to get self-sufficient industry working in space. That means that they will do the processing, manufacturing and distributing in space. That's real space industry.

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

check out this: http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Techn ... D_printing it almost sounds like replicators already  but in some years they might be capable to build all the needed equipment right there in space and money for traveling up would not be that a big problem anymore
