No, the future humanity is as cyborg transhumans colonizing the solar system until our posthuman-merge children begin to colonize the entire supercluster.

>mars is a pile of dust. it's the most moronic thing to want to go there.
Correct, the moons, the asteroids, mercury and the gas planets are more sensible goals for space industralization. Colonizing worlds is rather inefficient, space habitats are preferable. Why colonize a world if you can built one?

While oceanic colonization makes more sense than Maritan colonization (ocean mining, geothermal energy) it will be space habitats that will be our first habitats because from there we can direct the asteroid mining, the industralization of belt and moon and the helium-3 mining of saturn and uranus. But of course I don`t expect biological humans to do that all, the future belong to genecially augmented cyborgs or even digital intelligences that can not merely survive the harsh extremes but thrive in them.

Yeah, but why should we do it? Space habitats make more sense and once we go posthuman, we do not need the terraformation of any world.
