To me, it feels like a further step in advancing human civilization. Disperse the population a bit and keep growing as a species. That said, I’m no expert and if you have literature to recommend please do!

    “Disperse the population” is still way out in the future and we don’t even know yet if we’ll be able to.

    But there are so many steps we should be taking. Life shouldn’t just be a drudge, a life worth living has hopes and dreams, visions of a better future, in addition to challenges driving innovation. Yes we need to invest more in our people, but investing in our dreams has far less money but can return larger value

    I know I’ll never live long enough to see a colony but the space program has been a true inspiration from the beginning watch Apollo landings on the family black and white tv. We had a bit of a lull but developments around space are coming faster and more exciting than ever.

    I’m excited to progress toward a permanently manned moon base, to answer more questions about whether we’ll ever be able to live in space, develop ever more technology to approach that possibility.
