You would never waste/risk human life on stuff that could be delivered through automation. Frankly, it could probably be built mostly robotically.
That's what's so funny, the idea of a truck driver to bring things, and guys with cranes and pallets lifting or dropping a pallet 50 ft. up or down.
No, the picture is meant to appeal to 50's Flash Gordon spoofs, and probably what they had in mind, since they want to generate interest.
What actually might happen would blow the minds of anyone presently, and, most of it hasn't been thought of yet even.
