per day though. I think others are right that it has applications in space. going with the butter example, 5 people on a year long mission is almost 11kg you don't have to bring up to space.

on an environmental perspective, if applied to everyone, its almost half a quadrillion kJ removed a year, plus supply chain logistics, waste, packaging,

I still think its probably a ridiculous pipedream, but even pipedreams are meant to be dreamt.

11kg is nothing...

It's still $55k, that could be used somewhere else! Assuming the $5k/kg cost of getting something into LEO. Actual cost is even higher because more delta V is required to get off LEO.

That's not a marginal cost, it's some amortized cost.
