Most rockets make it to LEO, no need for more. We'll probably still have Leo rockets and then use skyhooks to move into upper orbit where moving by rockets. The thing is we rarely need to do this right now. Maybe once Artemis puts a lunar station, and there's incentive to mine or something in the moon, it might make sense to bake a skyhook bridge from LEO into Lunar orbit. But that is going to take a while, we might see it in our lifetime, but not anytime soon.
