It's not too far off. NASA's Artemis program is going surprisingly well and with it we'll have access to resources on the Moon, especially metals that can be mined, and we can access near-Earth asteroids a lot more easily.
Hell, NASA just got a sample back from an asteroid literally a couple of days ago so I think tehnologically we'll be okay. It's high time we overcame those hurdles anyhow.
The issue isn't whether we can mine space rocks, or even if we can bring back materials from space, it's about doing it at scale and cost-effectively, soon enough for it to matter.
