A general purpose AI/Robot will just do what it does here, there, and much cheaper and better than some guy stuffed into a pressurized suit who can only work x amount of hours per day and is easily injured and in constant need of food/air/medical. If space migration happens it will be with an army or robots per person because of how hostile conditions are for delicate mammals outside of earth. I don't think the futurist visions we imagine happen without a general robotics revolution, the same way we couldn't get to the moon without computers.
- VLM 11y ago"hostile conditions ... for delicate mammals ... outside of earth" Lets try a test of the general principle. Cross off the last three words and see if Canada, Australia, the western half of the USA, are all uninhabited. If they are, then no one will live in space. If people live in the desert in Nevada, then its highly likely people will (eventually) live in space.

The American Southwest is also protected by the Earth's magnetic fields, which shield the planet from 99.9% of the radiation in space. So it's a little more complicated than that.
