My personal "hot take" is we need to move from bespoke components to batch production of modules that can be fitted out for specific tasks and fitted together to build the station. I think the idea of designing and building everything is an idea for $100 million launches not $10 million, the paradigm we are supposed to be aiming for. I think these are all really Old Space in new livery. I think the New Space station is still to be designed.

If you had a look at a couple of the designs you would see that a couple have the batch production of modules as their core idea. It is most evident with Orbital Reef as the core modules and LIFE modules will be exactly the same from a manufacturing standpoint. However bespoke modules for certain requirements will still be required into the future under certain conditions.

standardized docking ports, adding modules for different functions when it comes to expansion. This worked really well for my minecraft base and im sure it will work well in space too
