In what year do you think humans will colonize the first planet outside of Earth?

[Ruggery]

And how do you think it will be?

[Tooting Carmen]

Few if any of us will be alive. As far as we know, apart from Mars most planets are too cold or hot and lack resources for humans.

There might be some colonies on the Moon or Mars just to mine minerals this century but only very few people will be involved. I cannot predict next centuries. Maybe when travel outside of the solar system will be possible.

I believe that the first viable, permanent human colony on Mars will be established within our life times. After that I think it will take many more decades, if not centuries, to establish colonies in the moons of the outer planets.

I doubt it will happen at all. Looking at the current situation humanity probably will have extincted themselves within the next hundred years.

Obviously by the time space exploration advances we will already be in the grave, hopefully if it happens soon the most we will see is the arrival of the first humans on Mars and perhaps some important advances in aerospace engineering but until then nothing more. The future. In the era of our great-great-grandchildren, they will already live in an era in which space travel is the norm.

By the way, the planets where humanity can settle are not easy to find but not impossible either, telescopes have already mapped up to 9 planets similar to Earth with resources so that humans can live, the only problem is the distance, they are all in systems where it would take us light years to reach, until we invent something that allows us to travel at that speed we will not even be able to think about exploring those planets, but there are several candidates for habitable planets that exist.

When a technology is invented that allows us to travel outside the solar system, that will mark a before and after. I'm 90% sure that's going to happen, we just don't know how many years or centuries it will take us to invent that.

Another candidate within our solar system besides Mars are the moons of Titan, the climate is not as dangerous as that of other planets or moons there are also resources.

According to an analyst, we are in a time of crisis where survival will be an important factor during this and the next century. If we do not become extinct by the 23rd century, we will already be a type 1 civilization on the Kardasho scale and there probably the space advance would have evolved. a lot.
