>Earth, the best planet, is feeling pretty overpopulated at 8 billion.
Not really; see pic.

>You are uninformed.
No. Fuck you, faggot.

>NASA studies on the specific habitat suggest 25 years or so of setting up infrastructure then 2-3 years per cylinder, with capacity to undertake simultaneous projects increasing with each cylinder (increasing infrastructure). Would need 10,000 habitats, I put the capacity and rate of construction on an exponential curve, call it 200-300 years.
Space habitat autists have to say we'll build an O'Neill cylinder in 30 years in order for their math to work.

More seriously: you're talking about a variety of technologies which can advance faster or slower relative to one another, becoming more or less efficient than projected, at least a century in advance, coming up with numbers that say they're the same OOM, and then declaring it's unrealistic for people to terraform planets.

Obviously there will BE space habitats - there is a space habitat NOW. The question is if there will be terraformed planets, and the answer is yes (assuming FTL).
