Spaceships 6

I’m following some examples from Spaceships 6, but I can’t get the figures to match.

1. ~~p4 example implies an SM+15 fabricator has capacity of $150 M/h, but I find $ 500 M in Spaceships 1; have i missed an errata?~~ I think there's an errata missing for Spaceships 1 page 16; the top row of the factory table goes 15M, 150M and 500M towards the end, whereas I think it should be 15M, 50M, 150M to follow x3 per SM increase. I couldn't find this in the errata; has this been overlooked or did I miss something? (Excited I found what might be my first errata item; do I get a medal or something??)

2. p4, continued example, says it takes 240 000 man-hours, and that the “time required” is 33 days. It’s not explicitly stated, but that is EXTRA time, I presume. Also, that’s assuming 24/7 contribution from each individual, so wouldn’t a total of 140 days be more reasonable (assuming other parameters are)?

3. In the same example, it says that it’s the hangar bay crew that’s involved, but I assumed it would be that of the factory since its the factory that enables building ships, afaik; which one is it? (In this case is the same, but in other cases it perhaps isn’t.)

4. p5 explains the classes 3-5 starports, and there it involves the tonnage and dHP. Are these calculations averages based on the examples above or are they different (and why)? I assumed starports would follow the same rules, since they’re created with the same rules.
