As soon as Democrats decide they can build a Utopia in space, fail miserably, and realize they need to call in Republicans to acually build a working civilization.

I hope we come up with G.A.I. in the next 10-20 years. I want to digitize my brain and live in a magic and cultivation (immortal cultivation) universe that has RPG elements. Then we virtually visit the stars with probes, data, etc. Then render it in our Virtual Realities where our digitized brains live in our digital avatars.
Its going to take hundreds of years, and we have no clue how to build a magnetic field to protect us from the solar flares and shit. It will happen but its going to be a hard process and require lots of technological improvements.

We're going to establish an outpost and see if conditions are suitable for human habitation. When i think of "colonization" I think of the immediate process of scientists living there and testing conditions to make it ready alongside industry to make it possible to build settlements for actual colonizers. At least something in that process

I mean how using tech and science to make it possible for human habitation. Derp on my end.

Thing is, when I was a kid and people were landing on the moon... we talked about moonbases and mars in the 80's and 90's. Then it all stopped. Credible Scientists like Carl Sagan were talking about it then. No one has visited the moon since 72. We have had lots of disasters with even the shuttles, then we have the radiation problem to fix and trust me the low orbit of the Space Station is nothing to the hit from Interplanetary travel and don't get me started on muscle wastage, bone density, and what it probably does to the immune system and a hundred other things we have no real knowledge of because we simply can't recreate the conditions on Earth or in low Earth orbit.
