All you need to do is devise a means of being able to achieve low Earth orbit cost-effectively.
Aerospike engines were supposed to be the ticket there but they have yet to materialise in any sort of definitive manner.
If we can do that we can colonise, the place, and then the moon.
Mars is a waste of time but some of the outer planets moons show promise.
To get there though we also need a means of cruising around our own star system at velocities that make colonisation and industrialisation a viable
prospect, plasma engines may help in that department.
As to the stars, well baby steps first, cant run before we can walk, as to how that will be done, well that remains to be determined in any sort of
realistic manner.
