so first off its refocusing all of humanity's output on space exploration
we get bases in the earth-moon and earth-sun lagrangians
we colonize the moon like the gently caress like millions peeps living there
and mars like the gently caress millions etc
and we slam commets and goop into mars and honestly yeah gently caress the moon too
colonize the gently caress out of that poo poo

You know it would take thousands of years to colonize mars, right?

honeslty I don't think large scale space colonization is viable without some fairly advanced body modification stuff, the lengths you have to go to to keep the body kind working in space adds cost

artificial gravity is one thing but cosmic rays do not play nice with DNA and cancer is kinda scary

it's not impossible, but it means your initial 'barrier to entry' is much higher

once you have 1 working colony, I imagine it will be easier

The idea of colonizing a moon or a planet seems ridiculous if you can just create permanent settlements in the void. An artificial environment could be ideally suited for human conditions, so you wouldn't have to account for all the problems associated with raising generations in low gravity environments.

It is by definition, all the exhaust from lifting enough mass to start a moon colony would gently caress up the atmosphere bigly.

capitalist society will never achieve extraterrestrial colonization, because any such project would require decades of forethought and planning that capitalists and governments subservient to them are incapable of

Sci Fi that's all interhuman conflict is just space opera, which has already been done to death.
