Can't see humans making it to the stars for a long time. Even if you want to colonise it would be better sent as DNA with special breeding/growing equipment. The DNA will likely have to be modified to fit the environment so no point sending full humans anyway. We are thinking too much at our current 21st century technology level not what will be achieved a century or more in the future. Mastering DNA and huge improvements in A.I. are I think easy predictions for the future. |
Imo looking for earth like planets to colonize is also thinking too much along our 21st century tech level. By the time we can reach ot that far we likely won't be restricted by little blue/green marbles anymore for survival. We're like cave man looking for any decent distant caves for future generations. I mean why would an AI raise fragile human beings from DNA once there. As a pet project? Hmm where's that AI hiding out nowadays...
