That to me would just the adequate life. Space could potentially
give us the resources for everyone to have their own planet!

I'm not sure that I have ever in my life seen more of a load placed
on a single word than what you just hung on that "potentially."

: ) (true) but that is what its all about for me. Its all there just waiting
for us, shame to just settle for just one planet.

You haven't even bothered to colonize all of this one planet!

COME! *COLONIZE THE ANTARCTIC OCEAN! *COLONIZE THE OCEAN BOTTOM! *THE
RICHES OF THE ATLANTIC TRENCH ARE WAITING FOR YOU! *POTENTIALLY WE CAN
MAKE EVERY COLONIST RICH ENOUGH TO HAVE HIS OWN ISLAND!

Show me you have enough gumption to do THAT, and then I'll believe
your babble about being a big, daring colonist with foresight. *But if
you aren't even willing to colonize a floating platform south of the
Cape of Good Hope, then all your rhetoric is just so much bull****.

exactly. we can't exploit the ocean bottoms, the polar regions, lots
of places on earth. mars can't possibly be more economically feasible

There are many rocks up there made of 'exotic' materials. As that we
don't need human labor anymore building things is also much easier
without gravity.

Energy is also abundantly available. For radiolysis you only need a
radioactive source. There is plenty of that up there.

The most important components for the vision are the self replicating
machines. We only need a very small amount of multifunctional
harvesters and construction bots. Then can just order a space ship and
they will make one for you.

If energy and natural resources isn't an issue the only resources
required are time and thought. Artificial intelligence will continue
to expand, quantum computing may arrive soon. Then the only thing left
will be time.

One or two generations and the Legacy humans can be disposed of. A
compiler, an emulator and an interpreter. A chip with everything
humans documented in their brief existence.

Additionally we will build mind uploading technology. Hooking peeps up
to quantum computers is probably the first time humans are aware of
anything. We can get rid of the primitive interfaces. :-)
