I felt the same way. Also, asking for things to be "simple" is an empty ask because nobody is trying to come up with ways to make things more complicated on purpose. It is very hard to take action on such ask.

Going to the Moon/Mars is hard. Establishing a permanent base is even harder, probably orders of magnitude harder. That's just the basic nature of the problem.

And I also noted, most likely subjectively, a certain anti-SpaceX bias. Maybe it was just me?

I think it was just you. The bias I got was that of anti current contractors and pro SpaceX. I feel this way since he implied that complex operations, such as refuelling in space, were only planned because the SLS was not powerful enough, and starship will be.
