Most of the debate about "colonization" or human exploration of space primarily involves our closest neighbors, the Moon and Mars. As a group, discuss what you think might be other promising places to explore in our solar system, and why? How should we prioritize all the different proposed missions? Are we looking to support the search for more human living space, is it for resource mining and sample return to Earth, or is it just for pure science and potential new discovery? What would we need to consider in terms of potential life on these other worlds, even if it's nothing like life on our own planet?
