Forget it. Technically feasible but too expensive and too far out. And we will kill ourselves sitting on a planet shock full of ressources before we make anything of that complexity in regions so far away and so hostile.

Very pessimistic outlook. While it could be true, we have in fact no information which could make such a inference necessary.
