And heat dissipation. It turns out that it's really hard to radiate heat into space. The ISS can only dump about 100kW (1/10th of a single shipping container of miners), and that requires about 500 sq meters (about the size of a basketball court) of radiation panels.
So 10 ISSs worth of radiation panels would get you a single shipping container worth of miners.
The math doesn't math.
