Even if every RIR gets to 3 /12s in 50 years, that's still only 15/512ths of the initial /3 delegated to unicast space by IETF. There are 6+ more /3s remaining in the IETF pool.
That's good news - we need to make sure we have a /3 for both the Moon and Mars colonies. ;)
A /64 is barely enough bits for a ~2 m resolution on Earth surface, and barely to the Karman line. In practice you'd aim for ~um resolution for all major gravity wells in this system (DTN is already flying, there's a Cisco box in Earth orbit, Moon and Mars are next). (And of course if you're you're going to multiply above by 10^11, or so. Eventually).
