The cost of containers is a lot cheaper than the cost of terraforming
and can be done a lot more quickly.

Terrafroming will not happen within my lifetime, or even for several
generations.

It is so long term and hypothetical I really do not see any point in
discussing it.

I am interested in practical projects to get us out there as quickly as
possible.

I would rather visit a container space colony today, or at least within
my lifetime, than dream about a terraform planet I will never see.

The general public has a good comfort zone for flying in pressurized
aircraft, so I really do not see container colonies as something people
will regard as unsafe. In fact, they will be safer than commercial
aircraft today for several reasons.
