No! Unfortunately Humanity will not commit the resources necessary to establish a viable breeding population off the planet which will eventually doom Humans to being a footnote in Galactic history. Over the centuries, your planet was a curious place to visit once or twice and was not considered very interesting . Sure, your wars showed us how undeveloped you are as a species and your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you. We are now showing an interest in you because it is not often that we get to observe a species commit suicide. You are so close to maturing as a sentient species and it will be a shame to see you kill yourselves. There are just not enough of you becoming rational enough to force the issue. You let the least among you determine your fate, so be it.

To be honest I don't think we will. We have much of the technology already now yes, but the main thing that stops us from actually going and setting up a colony (other than cost) is the ability to make and/or recycle the oxygen. They did a project a while back with an enclosed Biosphere but they had problems with the oxygen levels dropping.
But then again... we really won't know until the time comes!

The International Space Lab is a colony.

Well let's see...That would mean that in the next 43 years or so, we would have first built a colony in space, and then create sufiient resources for survival, and populate it with people who have been trained to exist in space and be self sufficient. Answer; NO.

what, like in the movie Titan A.E? probably not, but we already have a base up on the moon, so a colony on the moon may be possible, but anywhere else, like mars or something, probably not, because with the rockets and shuttles we have now, it would take a few years to get there, or anywhere else....and i dont think that many people would want to spend that much time on a spaceship waiting to live on mars when the earth is doing just fine

Not a chance. A base on the Moon maybe. Like the space station but on the Moon instead of in orbit. That is about it though. No city with people living there full time.

By 2050 I'm sure they'll be at least a moon base. And ther space station should be totally revitalized.

Dream on, buddy. By then we'll be colonizing the Andromeda galaxy.

Most probably, and we would have maybe even travelled to other stars by then.
