Re: Eventually living on other planets
Colonization of space will come as a result of industry in space. Achieving the infrastructure to exploit those resources will be very expensive compared to some human endeavorers but compared to war the cost of space colonization is peanuts. Once the first parts of the infrastructure is established more infrastructure can be build from resources already in space. sending refined metals to the earth is not an energy intensive endeavor and sending finished products back to earth would be cost efficient. There will be things that can only be manufactured in zero gee. The real pay off of space colonization will be as maddog pointed trade with the Earth from the natives of the colonies. Space craft will be manufactured in the orbiting colonies, eventually any star ships will indeed be built the as well.
