      Start with the moon, then mars, then Europa then out of the solar system from there. I hope it is only a matter of time before this becomes a reality, because if we do not change our ways as a species, we will be too much of a burden on this world and although it will survive we may not.

      The population is actually increasing at a decreasing pace so the population should eventually top out and stabilise or even get a little bit smaller. This is largely because if education and access to contraception all over the world. When people have these things and good medicine to reduce infant mortality they tend to have smaller families (of course, not everyone, but on average).

      Disease and war are “natural” ways of controlling population, so you could say we are antagonist towards each otheer as an evolutionary advantage! We will probably decide to populate the moon then up
