Space colonization , I could see a colony on the moon being feasible in the next 20 years probably more akin to an oil field where it's mainly people extracting minerals and not recreational.

What are they extracting though?

Is this going to fuck up Earth's gravity or some shit?! Lol

They gone and extracted all the gravitonium and now we ain't got no tides

There's not much value to mine from the moon. Even if there was, It would cost way too much to transport to be worth mining for.

However, it is likely that a small moon base could replace the ISS in the next couple decades.
