Which is why Space Islands are better than any planet currently
available for terraformation either mars or Venus or any moon for
which artificial colonies may be built.

Utimately it is the Space Island that is the Future for man.

Unfortunately none of the Science articles I come across mention
this. There are too many talking of Generation Ships to Solar Systems
which we don't even know if they might have planets that are
habitable or even if they might have populations of their own.

Space Islands are safe bet in these aspects as well and they're
available.

Man must move into space. If learning history has taught me anything,
it is that viable cultures are those that are constantly growing.
Meeting challenges and prevailing. Space is they ultimate field to
provide man with these things.Ample room for expansion and many
challenges without putting any indingenous peoples pr species at
hazard.

Unfortunately No One of importance seems to realize this.

Excuse me for going 'political' but The elite has taken us down the
path of decadence and limited reproduction to deal with limited
resources whent the correct path is to move into new space for
reaching unlimited resources. All our elite has achieved is narrowing
the human gene pool.

We need to move into space as a matter of human survival.
