As for the intermediate time, technology will be enough to support the colonization. Colonists will run into a lot new problems or old problems that can't be solved the way we've been solving them here on Earth, so selling or licensing technology developed by the colonists is going to be worth it.

  10. 1) That is not true. 2) The solar winds would take between 100,000 and 1,000,000 years to strip a way the atmosphere. I don't think we need to care about something that will that long for a very long time.
