I'm doubtful about colonising - and even if we create colonies it's likely they will remain small and dependant on earth for at least some supplies.
However there is a Lot of rock in the solar system that could be mined, and its possible, perhaps even probable, that these resources would supply earth with metals for quite some time.
- shkkmo 4y agoI have no doubt that supply chains will remain interlinked, but if our civilization begins to actively exploit a significant portion of the resources in the solar system, then large-scale colonization is necessary and inevitable (although not necessarily human.)
