Re: Humanoid and other robots.
This causes me to be even more positive about robotic lead expansion into the solar system. However, I am less sure about the persistence of humans in such a future.

As I said in the previous post, I think it would be quite workable to send various types of robots to Mars, and with a Starlink around Mars, they could build first primitive structure, but over time bootstrap up to full cities. At some point humans could be included.
I am going to suggest that the Asteroid belt is in the Solar System "Sun Belt". That is a somewhat arbitrary claim, but if a device is free floating in space, I feel, that by the time you get beyond the main asteroid belt, while solar would work well, you might wish to have some form of nuclear.
The space around Mars falls into that category, but on Mars itself, while solar may make a very big contribution, we probably at least want some Kilopower power sources from NASA to start with.
And I think that it will turn out to be capable of doing the same on certain asteroids, such as Ceres. And the point is that if robot labor works as well as we might think it will, it will be very practical to move large quantities of substances from other worlds to the Earth/Moon subsystem.
So, it will be rather a good civilization, if it does not kill itself.
