the animals would need minders and its always going to be inefficient to grow meat compared to plant protein because of the trophic levels. So not until any base/colony has enough food that they are food secure and the energy losses don't matter.

aquaponics are more practical than bugs - things like tilapia and shrimps would be most common local meat
only an idiot would bring pests like crickets
as for meat meat, I think the first would be rabbits and chicken
rabbits need almost no room, don't smell too bad, don't make noise, and you probably would bring them as test subjects for biological testing anyway
chickens are omnivores so you can feed them guts and stuff you don't want, they also lay eggs and grew up insanely fast

Needs to be a sufficiently big system to be stable. Probably needs something like 100m2 plant growth area minimum to make any sense. So whenever you think it possible to build that much.
Guinea pigs should be easier, you raise one by having maybe 3m2 of gras in cultivation for it.

>After a rocket uses up its fuel, the tank generally just becomes dead weight, but a prototype rocket that burns its own fuselage as propellant could solve that problem. A team of engineers have built a prototype of one of these “autophage engines” for the first time, which could free up capacity for transporting more important science projects and supplies into space.

The largest rocket China has can only fling about 9,000 kg to C3=0 which isn't a great trajectory for reaching even the nearest Earth-crossing asteroids, and even when it gets there you're going to have almost no delta-v to adjust a hundred ton rock onto an Earth-intercept trajectory. Even if China could do that it'd be impossible to launch the mission in secret. All of the NEOs that you might be able to convert into missiles have well defined orbits and are under close obersvation that's only going to get more diligent if China launches a probe to one of them. Everyone would see this coming and would have years if not decades to formulate a response, which could be as simple as mounting W88 warheads on cheap satellite busses like Rocket Lab's interplanetary Photon and then having the standing Falcon 9 fleet volley launch them towards the asteroid.
There's nothing stopping China except for the fact that it's currently impossible as well as completely fucking retarded.

I have in the past advocated for minimalist, unpressurized platform landers. You would stand or sit on them in an EVA suit for lunar decent and assent.
It was rejected out of hand due to fears of reduce resiliency during emergency scenarios. Regenerating scrubbers of today can be used for weeks on end with a little solar power, Oxygen consumption is only about 1 lb/day. Water for the sublimator is really the only limiting factor and a simple parasol could make it last weeks. I did the math but no one was interested in the idea.

Takes a lot of delta v and a lot of fuel to get to LLO and land on the moon, even more if you want to take off from the moon in the same ship.
Starship has big tanks, these are an asset if you can fill them in orbit.
Starship only comes in starship size. Maybe you could shrink or stretch the lunar one a ittle if desired but that's about it.

there are going to be a bunch of industries like that first for basic building materials and the later more and more complex manufacturing
there just needs to be a buyer, not really sure what kind of population size and self reliancy level there needs to be before it starts to roll by itself like the market on earth
will probably happen way before full self sufficiency though
shipping a bunch of microchips in is going to be cheaper for so long self-sufficiency might become more of an ideological/political thing instead of actually something necessary
a bit like energy indepence of a country on earth

so you could have 2 pads in Starbase and actually 3 pads in Cape Canaveral
they could finish LC-39A, take over SLC-37 after ULA fucks off and then even build a completely new on called SLC-50 north of SLC-37
even if they have 5 pads then I doubt its enough for SpaceX mars plans, but would be nice though

I'm not even sure it's that complicated, has someone done chicken centrifuge experiments?
But if it is, anesthesia is only one option; another answer is bringing fresh eggs up, incubating them on an LEO space station. Then you send live chickens to mature in transit to mars, and collect eggs before arrival. Butcher the chickens before landing, and incubate the eggs after.

The ISS has in fact done a bunch of crop growing experiments including starches and greens. The real scaling factor for Mars will be bioreactors to produce potato-growing soil.

Rice paddies are wet because rice tolerates or even likes the water but weeds don't. It also evens out irregular rainfall. All the water's not actually necessary to produce the rice; it just turns out to be more efficient in practice.
