I think humans will eventually visit a few planets and maybe live on the Moon or Mars. To go further will require either radical bioengineering or AI / brain upload. (The distinction gets blurry there.)

We are just too fragile and we don't live long enough for interstellar trips. Even the outer solar system may be prohibitively hard for us.

I guess we could upload our personalities to a computer then fly around in space for thousands of years. Then grow a body on whatever planet we feel like.
