That's so fricking obvious I don't know why you'd bother trying to put a number on it.

The volume of our solar system is a better metric. Over the next 10 thousand years we will be building all over the universe. the space between planets will be as busy as our air space today.

So glad I scrolled to the bottom to see if you posted the right conclusion. I ain't reading all that.

You're not factoring in that you need empty space for orbits, buffering out harmful radiation, and other forces.

What is "all over the universe?" Do you mean galaxy? The milky way is 100,000 light years across. Even if we could travel at light speed (which would make us massless), it would still take 100,000 light years to traverse our galaxy.
So no, we will not be all over the universe in 10,000 years. If we moved at light speed starting today we would have only covered 10% of the galaxy in only one degree of travel.

Put down the bong and go to Chipotle.

So your definition of useful space is that which is occupied by living creatures?
Not only is that a bad definition but I consider Most people worthless space

I 100% believe in "slip space".
Time is perceived as a straight line, but there is no proof it isn't merely a 4th dimension.
