Do you think humanity will ever create colonies on the other planets (not just couple of trained astronauts but a civilian population in a city or something similar) and depending on your opinion why not / where and when do you think they're likely to be created first?... also will the frontier of colonising be in our own solar system on Mars for example or on some exoplanet
Human race would still have a long way to go before we go on to colonizinng planets? There still a lot of unknown to the world. And the universe is so vast that or secrets are still just curling out of the corner into our laps. To colonize planets we really are a long way off
Sooner or later, it is going to happen. But the question remains. Are we getting enough ROI on these investments. There is a huge cost associated with each of these plans. And the tax payer is going to bear them. Although spending money on the space program is still better than spending them on needless wars, I am not sure whether this must be a major priority for us.
