I think 200 years would be cool. After that pull the plug. But if anything this technology will spark the Zombie Apocalypse.

No thanks. I don't want to have to work for 900 years.

The hell with that, I'll take whatever the good lord intended to give me and then, I'll truly be free....forever.

Sure its being researched, but the closest planet that appears to be habitable is thousands of light years away. I don't see how its going to be possible to colonize other planets and be self sustainable. Sure you could set up colonies on Mars for example as a station, but everything on a planet like Mars would have to be supplied by the earth and that won't solve the population problem. Someone will either have to come up with time travel or teleportation to make colonizing a realistic proposition. And that won't be any time soon.

Terraforming.

I'm sure we could easily terraform Mars if given 1000 years. Apparently, all you have to do is make Mars go through a type of global warming to change its atmosphere. That's one thing humans are good at right now.
