This is the first step in a 50-year plan that includes planting trees and building actual timber houses on the moon and even Mars.
With timber, a material we can produce by ourselves, we will be able to build houses, live and work in space forever.
The material should actually be more durable in space than on Earth because, well, the endless void doesn't have any water or oxygen.
Wooden satellites would eventually fall back down to Earth and burn up during re-entry, alleviating the problem of space debris.
