Antarctica.  While we have a few research bases, we need to make it a viable place for habitation.  Because it's on the planet and it's way friendlier than anywhere off-planet.  Once it becomes boring instead of dangerous, we're ready for the next stage.I can see the option of setting up underwater colonies as well, but not sure how much political will there is.2. Moonbase.  While pretty much completely hostile to life, there is a need for a moonbase for building and testing, as well as building ship/manned sateillite yards. plus its mere hours away.3. Now we use the man satellites to put supervisors in key locations across the solar system for quicker turnaround and testing purposes.  A Venus cloud city might be more viable then a martian satellite as per the video, but non-drone planetfall just isn't feasible or cost effective.</blockquote>
