Absolutely and I hope so. Im biased and optimistic, but I have faith in the current coalition of free, great nations to get us over the hump into space. And a bright human future exists if we can just get through this turbulent period, and keep dreaming. And I agree, ‘heaven’ would be a cool place to watch it all unfold from.

Humans could live in giant “cyclers” basically Oneill cylinder space stations that travel on elliptical routes between any two planets over the course of years or decades, and act as a way to transport huge quantities of goods through the solar system cheaply (though slowly). Say a 2 million population Cycler, named the State of Kennedy, 2x2x6 miles in size, flying between Jupiter and Earth (the distances would change constantly) for a couple decades and then arriving and orbiting each for a two year trading/vacation stint, before plunging back into the depths.
