      Yes (far future), but if we live wisely enough on earth, we do not need to take that huge trouble. We may go for experiments or excursions, though. đŸ™‚

      In theory, yes. But right now we don’t have the technology to make this possible or a strong enough impetus to do so. I think human settlement of other bodies in the solar system will only happen if (a) there is a discovery of a major natural resource there, or (b) there is increased population pressure on Earth, either because of damage to the natural environment, increasing population, or both.
