[Elysium]Shouldn't there be hundreds or thousands of ships constantly going to Elysium?

I never understood why there was only one place on the whole planet that was capable of sending ships since it seemed pretty routine.
What was everyone else doing?

It's easier to control what comes and goes through one port than thousands. Funneling stuff through a single port is also not an issue - ground transport is cheap comparatively.

Remember, this station was one of complete paranoia about immigration - so much so that they would destroy ships with extreme prejudice for attempting to enter illegally. Having only one origin point just makes the filtering process that much easier.
