I'm probably wrong, but isn't putting telescopes and sensors on the surface not as good as orbiting because of things like light radiation, seismic disturbances and shifting surfaces.
I get the fuel extract, and I call on the real world equivalent of Bruce Willis to make that happen.
I would think that one of the best things to do is to build a orbital vehicle assembly facility. Build ships in space which would reduce things like fuel usage and costs.
