One more reason to push for more funding for the technology to allow humans to live away from Earth permanently. At that distance you'd be talking a multi-generational colonist ship, far beyond what we can produce now and well within what most people think of as science fiction.
But we can start the 'To Do List' anytime now.
1) Space elevator for efficient movement of passengers and equipment into orbit.
2) Survey missions to the moon and local astral bodies for mineral and chemical deposits.
3) Technology and facilities to sustain humans during extremely long duration trips to space (multiple years) even for intrasystem travel.
4) Facilities for large scale manufacturing in low gravity conditions.
Does the potential for technological advancement give anyone else here tingles?
