I have bad news for you, then. The US Senate was told today that on-orbit refueling has never been done before and is therefore impractical. And the Senate seems much more interested in a Lunar space station than building a Moon base.
FlyIt@FlyItRealFast· Sep 3, 2025@SciGuySpace Both on-orbit refueling and the confirmation and quantification of lunar water ice should be the top two U.S. priorities.

SpaceX will do orbital refilling several times next year with Starship V3.
Because we are simply docking with ourself, this is a much easier problem than docking with the Space Station, which SpaceX already does several times a year.
