I disagree. It just won’t be fancy. It has to be an enormous project with existential risks. And you have to really send many people at once with no return ticket. “At once” is important, you can’t ramp it up, that’s far more expensive. It has to be a mission very deeply planned in detail with plenty of failsafe paths, aimed at building a colony that can be maintained with Earth’s teaching resources, technologies and expertise, and locally produced and processed materials for everything. So - something like that won’t happen anytime soon, but at some point it will happen.
The technologies necessary have to be perfected first, computing should stop being the main tool for hype, and the societies should adapt culturally for computing and worldwide connectivity.
These take centuries. In those centuries we’ll be busy with plenty of things existential, like avoiding the planet turning into one big 70s Cambodia.

Um, OK.
