  2. Technically, we already are, with months long tours on the ISS, and it's always manned by somebody.

    As far as permanent settlements? Dunno. I know the human body doesn't do well in extended zero-g, so long-term colonies would have to be ground based. Mars, maybe? Maybe 50 years for that, if they keep the government out of it and find some sort of profit motivation.

    Social media is creating an environment where people more easily accept living in large group environments. And what about that space airport
