I don’t think most of us are getting off this planet, not with human bodies. I do however love Greg Evans vision of the future of colonisation. Von Neumann probes and we just send the people as data. In one of his books there are even the “retronaughts” a group of Elon musk like obsessives slowly travelling on a fusion rocket, as human civilisation expands at the speed of light ahead of them, constantly in denial about living in the past. I think if we can start getting some basic robotics to the asteroid belt that would be the first step to having more industrial capacity off planet, which will also help us save our basket by moving energy and pollution intensive things in orbit. The future belongs to our robots, not our human bodies.
