Beside economics, the other overriding reasons in science fiction for establishing a space colony are fundamentalist regimes and fundamentalist religious groups.

Actually, add "extremely rich" to the beginning and "who whole-heartedly embrace technology" after then end of the two groups named above. We're unlikely to ever see the an Amish barn raising on Callisto. :-)

  1. Spend centuries fully terraforming Callisto into a paradise with verdant Earthlike conditions on its surface.

  2. Populate it exclusively with Amish settlers.
