    If we're going to actually colonize space, and take advantage of either one of these opportunities, we will need at least one of the following: 1) uploading ourselves into self-replicating machines 2) almost incomprehensibly better energy technology, probably fusion-based

        separately, let's lose this "we" frame. space accounts for a small fraction of global spending. it has nothing to do with our inability to realize whatever version of utopia it is you're selling, and "we" don't have to go anywhere. if you don't want to go to mars, stay home.

        Can we stop with the colonizing and perhaps undo some of the last couple hundred years of colonization?

        sounds like something you care about, and should definitely *yourself* focus on rather than mars

        If we want to colonize effectively, we need to move past rockets. The technology is here today but locked up in USAPs in the govt. "We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects" - Ben Rich, CEO of Lockheed Skunk Works

        I agree we should absolutely keep working on this stuff — and all of the new thrust tech is really exciting, at least theoretically — but we can and should also start colonizing now

        3) Micro-gravity manufacturing enables best-in-class performance for a ton of interesting problems. We'll go up well to build perfect optics, semiconductors, new super-alloys, artificial replacement organs, and more. Also, partial gravity is the best for retirement homes.
