Granted, we are talking centuries and perhaps a millennium or two before the technology

But three sciences we are actively working on - Nanotechnology, The Genome Project and Climate Change Studies - will give us some foundation in this goal




I vote for the Moon first, just due to proximity. It will be easier to experiment on the Moon as well. Problem is: there's not enough gravity to keep an atmosphere. HOWEVER, this is where nanotechnology can come into play - as an artificial layer of atmosphere to keep the oxygen, C02 and Nitrogen in.
