If you put robots with nano-assemblers in orbit, then anything not in use is free mass that has already been elevated out of the gravity well.

What does NASA pay per pound, 15k USD or so? Eventually this might be really valuable...

Once we’re at the point of nano assemblers in orbit, the cost of mass to orbit will be a minuscule fraction of that.
