Could you build this?
No Space robotics involves physical hardware engineering, space-grade avionics, microgravity kinematics, and aerospace regulatory approval that cannot be created with software vibe coding.
What it would actually take: Building orbital robots requires radiation-hardened electronics, zero-gravity actuator mechanics, thermal vacuum mitigation systems, and autonomous computer vision systems resilient to extreme space lighting. The development process demands cleanrooms, vibration and thermal-vacuum testing infrastructure, and adherence to NASA/DoD flight certification standards. This requires teams of aerospace, mechanical, and robotics hardware engineers.
