The space currently assigned to globally routable addresses is 1/8th of the v6 address space. Over 50% of the addressable space is currently reserved.
The numbers are frankly mind-bending. Even if we we make a complete pigs ear of assigning billions of IPs to billions of networks in the current /3, we have space for more than one do-over.
But I do believe there's a higher chance the next /3 will be assigned to Mars.
