And how much do those painting robots cost? What kind of environment do they operate in? I don't know, but I'd imagine they get a little bit more care and feeding from the maintenance staff than your average gas pump.

You can chain together all the hypothetical technological advances you want. The more you do, the more improbable the overall scenario becomes. A robot cryogenic refueling station that's anywhere near as economical as the present system, well, it's just another brick in the wall.

Cheers, Dan.
