We see everything from a human horizon (about 80 years). In addition, the technological development the last 300 years have been exeptional.



I think it will not be so very difficult to
  1. Settle on the moon where the California Academy of Science aquarium / rain forest project can be a valuable model.
  2. Expand from the moon.
I agree with Professor Stephen W. Hawking and other scientists that say that we even have to populate space. I think a religious (often fatalistic) view on this, the earth as the center of the universe, will only have a (negative) effect, slow down and hamper, but not stop the expansion.
