There’s always orbital habitats. They ramp up a lot quicker than even a Mars colony.

Eh, it would be worth it with the right recreational activities up there and knowing we weren’t setting up altered carbon.

You’d have zero control over your existence. Someone else would own that station and you’d exist entirely at their whim. They would decide if you get food, air, water, shelter. No real access to nature. I’d rather die.
