one of the methods I envison for this is moon crashing. set the asteroid to collide with the moon initially. recover and harvest it there for the volitiles in the meantime. develop the tech for extraction there and store the extracted materials as an initial startup base. as the tech becomes more viable, use that as a launch point for exploration and in place mining, staging of returning materials etc.

wont be in my lifetime, but I do like the overall idea.
