Pie in the Sky. the cost alone would be monumental. I never understood the concept of populating other planets without oxygen and other such minutiae that is critical to infrastructure. Unless the gold mining operations were all robotic it just doesn’t seem plausible to me, at least with the technological level that we are currently experiencing.

In my limited and under-experienced (MBA,EE) humbled opinion (absolutely devoid of astronautics), I think we are at least a 100 years away from reaching anything remotely close to that lofty goal. Maybe a 150 years. Yet, everyone’s talking like it can happen tomorrow, we’re stalled reaching Mars at this juncture. And all of this stuff costs lots of money that we probably should prioritize to taking care of what’s wrong with our planet and populations that need bolstering.
