By spreading out, colonizing and bringing life to lifeless worlds, and expanding human civilization ever more until the end of time.

Anything wrong with expanding peacefully into the vastness of space and bringing life to barren worlds? The Mars Direct program in the videos is the idea of Robert Zubrin, but I'm for it as a starting point. Mars has days almost the same length as Earth's, making the gathering of solar power easier than on the moon; its surface area is approximately the same as the surface area of dry land on Earth; its axial tilt is almost the same as Earth's also. But we shouldn't stop at Mars, but continue building until there is nothing more that can be built, and then move on and spread out to Alpha Centauri, Tau Ceti, and the rest of the stars nearby once we can, and build and build, and continue moving ever further outward colonizing as much of the galaxy as possible.

I'll check out the photos later, because I'm on a school computer.

That's a very good idea that you have, there. We need to get some volunteers who would like to live on their favourite planets.

I think that as colonies and habitats are built and travel to them from Earth becomes remotely affordable, there will be a massive influx to them. For all that people sometimes complain about "traveling in a tin can for so many months", the traveling itself still is cool and to live on another world would be just plain awesome in my opinion.
