Isn’t the most probable future one where our solar system is more than enough to satisfy humanity for a very very long time ?

Space is so humongously big that we can build trillions (trillions with a T) space habitats in this single solar system with each hosting a population in the hundreds of thousands at the very minimum.

If we turn Earth into an ecumenopolis in the far future, we can house quadrillions of people over here.

Imagine if we also focus on terraforming every single planet and moon in our entire solar system, then we could have space to fit thousands of Earths.

We can literally build a civilization a billion times larger in scale than the Imperium of Man just with one single solar system, without it ever feeling overcrowded.

Imagine if we terraform every single planet and moon over here, on top of building trillions of space habitats, we would probably have the technology to make everybody live in such utopian societies that even the lowest class people would make our current billionaires look extremely poor in comparison.

We would probably experience so many things just by staying here that people in the far future might not care about expanding to other star systems, especially if VR makes people able to experience even more crazyness from the confort of their own homes.

What y’all think ? Would that be a good future for in your opinion ? One where humanity thrives for millions of years at the very least in this single solar system while being satisfied instead of expanding to other star systems and galaxies ?

The main upside of only colonizing the solar system is also the main downside.

Namely that being in the general vicinity of others can be both a boon and utterly untenable depending on outlook.
