Well, if uploading is developed, then the only "environment" that will
matter to us will be computer hardware, no matter if it is in the
bottom of the sea or in space of wherever. I think that there will be
space "habitats" in such a scenario, but they will be simply
solar-powered balls of computronium containing billions of minds
inside. Those minds, supposing them human-like, would probably choose
to perceive their environment as an Earth-like planet, or an O'Neilian
space habitat, or even things that aren't allowed by the laws of the
physical world but would be cute environments, like "hollow earths"
and other bizarre constructs.
