> I think soon enough we're going to have a self replicating factory
You can build that factory, but it can't produce without resources - and those are still gathered and transported in a very inefficient, low-tech way. It's an interesting problem to solve.
Moreover those resources that are cheap to access are already in hands of major players. You either get to find new ones or new places that haven't been accessed. (In space?)
