One day we'll be able to download our consciousness into a computer. Then we'll send these computers into space headed for the nearest habitable solar system. As we leave our solar system the computers will shut down to conserve power.

But when the sunlight from the new solar system hits our solar panels we will wake up and continue our existence.

A solid core, yes, but no practical "surface."

I find your list of “three worst groups” to be very odd.

Theoretically, I can get along with my MIL.

So, habitable planets…certainly.

We apparently can't control the climate here. How are we going to do it there?

gravity on Jupiter is 2.3 x earth.

you would weigh 460 lbs.

Highly unlikely. We will destroy ourselves before then.

We SHOULD be focusing heavily on space exploration in order to avoid the likelihood of our extinction, but we waste our time on useless crap.

If you know the question to the answer of 42 then you would know that, yes, we can make other planets habitable. In fact, we'll be able to design our own planets with Fjords and fountains of pan-galactic gargle blasters.

Jupiter isnt a terrestrial planet baw

Now some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn may be habitable hundreds or thousands of years from now I guess

Doubtful any of ours but in other solar systems, sure.

There’s at least ten trillion planets in our galaxy alone.

As they are all spheres and Earth is flat, our flat Earthers will slide right off.

Waste of time trying.

Yes. There's a couple of theoretical solutions for terraforming Mars, some involving a 2 Tesla supermagnet in front of Mars to provide a magnetic field, which in turn would both raise the ambient temperature and pressure. It's a theory of course but that is entirely plausible engineering wise if someone wanted to do it...

Even if they were you'd just get stomped by alien bacteria and viruses. Hell we evolved on this planet and she can still dream up new ways to kill us.

We do 'lose' technology though. There used to be vehicles that ran on wood gasifiers. Good luck recreating one now without spending a ridiculous sum of money just to build the gasifier itself.
