Mercury – No, humans will probably never colonize this place. It's way too hot and has no atmosphere. Solar radiation would also kill you pretty quickly given how close you'd be to the sun.

Venus – If humans colonized Venus it'd be in sky cities (temperatures on the ground are too hot). NASA's already planning on sending an unmanned airship to Venus. Humans could survive in floating cities. This isn't very likely due to the expense but it's not impossible.

Earth – No, humans will never colonize earth. (kek)

Mars – This will likely be the first planet humans will colonize. NASA already has plans to send people to mars. All conditions are pretty good except for the lack of atmosphere, so solar

Jupiter – No. Some people think we could build skycities on Jupiter. But remember, Jupiter is a hydrogen gas giant. Hydrogen is the lightest element. You cannot build a ship to float on hydrogen because nothing's lighter than hydrogen.

Saturn – No, but Saturn's moon, Titan, may be colonized. It has very good conditions to live on and many scientists think life may already be there. It is incredibly cold, though. If technology could allow us to survive the cold, then living there shouldn't actually be too big of a feat.

Uranus - No, same as Jupiter.
Neptune – No, same as Jupiter.

In my opinion many humans may instead opt to live in space stations in close proximity to earth and not specifically on any planet. Our society is in its technological infancy and it will be difficult to communicate ideas and innovations and technological distances due to vast reaches of space. Humans are not going to want to be isolated from the rest of society. For these reasons it may make more sense to develop artificial habitats in space with all the life systems and amenities of Earth.

Oh, I didn't mention dwarf planets.

Most dwarf planets are simply too cold and too far away and have very thin atmospheres.

Ceres is one of the closer dwarf planets, but it's still -162 fahrenheit (-108 celcius). The cold would be a problem, but that might be able to be overcome.

I also don't think it has much of an atmosphere and it has barely any gravity on it, 36 times less than earth's, so humans may have a ton of trouble living there.

Of course, these things could be overcome. But Ceres has tons and tons of problems, so it definitely won't be the first place we'd ever colonize.

Besides, in order to survive the vast distances of time and space to colonize another world, we will need these life support systems I was talking about. So I guess I am right either way.

But humanity will probably be spurred to populate extra solar planets to avoid cataclysm in our own solar system and increase the statistical probability of survival by spreading life to faraway places.

Currently we are at great risk. One large meteor could create a giant dust cloud that blocks out the sun and leads to the destruction of the food chain by preventing photosynthesizing organisms from having access to sunlight.

I read somewhere once that Ceres might become a sort of hub for asteroid mining.

Mars is barely like Earth overall... It'a atmosphere is 100x thinner than Earth's, and made up of almost 97% Carbon Dioxide, the 3% is Nitrogen. This planet would be paradise for plants, for only 12.3 hours, meaning plants such as trees will only produce 61.5 mm. of oxygen, before freezing to death, and the ice freezing along with it.

@Weapon

You can still sort of explore the universe with telescopes.

A lot of new discoveries are made by amateur astronomers, especially new supernovae.

@Medieval

Even if we lived in space stations, space stations still have to orbit something.

Space stations currently are feasible places to live because the lack of G-forces causes severe health problems.

Artificial gravity does exist but no one's even bothered sending one to space for humans. NASA's built small-scale ones not for humans, like their water purification system requires gravity, and so they built a tiny artificial gravity thingy for it.

But we'd need to advance technologies like this before humans living in space stations would ever be a thing.

A space station humans would live on would probably look something like the Halo in, you know, Halo. Artificial gravity requires a large rotating ring and anyone living on the edges of the ring would feel G-forces.

Although the size of something like that makes it not seam very feasible.

In order to sustain the human population you need at least a few thousand humans. Too low of a population and they'll die off due to genetic defects.

Every problem you listed there will need to be resolved anyways for long distance travel to the planets you propose humans colonize.

You also make the assumption that technological advances won't be made in life support systems that include artificial gravity for astronauts. We have 0 gravity chambers on Earth already I am sure scientists will devise a way to create artificial gravity for people on space stations. Furthermore, other planets are going to have gravity that is not similar to the earths so that is going to have adverse effects.

Artificial gravity doesn't exactly have to be large scale.

@Osd

NASA already has plans to send a rover to Europa, so the technology required to get there isn't too far off.

Now, living there. Remember, atmosphere is incredibly important, and besides Titan, no moon in the solar system has a life-sustaining atmosphere.

It is also tiny so lack of gravity can also cause major health problems.

A better moon of Jupiter might be Ganymede. Ganymede has just more water on it than all the oceans of earth. If we lived underwater, the water would act as an atmosphere.

Tidal forces can actually warm moons, that's why Io is covered in volcanoes.

Ganymede and Europa are really cold but we may be able to get energy from tidal forces if we ever lived there since solar panels wouldn't be too effective.

If we did, and we lived on Ganymede underwater, maybe we could get oxygen from splitting the water around us. There's not much else useful around these planets, however.

You would have to create your own sustainable ecosystem in your base in order to live in these places.

Jupiter has animals! Proof: http://www.americanmonsters.com/site/2012/07/scientist-claims-that-aliens-are-real-and-probably-stupid/

Yes, it is 'American Monsters, but it's true. Also, by stupid, they mean the aliens.
