More like 1/24 based on 2008 budgets. Roughly a factor of ten can be written off based on population, which means that your per capita spending on space tech is about twice ours.

No it doesn't. You are talking about building spacecraft from raw materials on the moon. That is a process we can only automate to a small degree here on earth. Why would we be able to integrate automation in to the process more in space?
Before any craft is built on the moon it would need to be built on earth. With no plans to do so anytime soon why would we start building the infrastructure required to do it on the moon?

I'm talking about how things would most efficiently work in the future. Currently a factory can turn out cars, with little input from humans. Do you have any idea what telepresence is?
