I remember the times where colonizing the solar system was a means for our collective survival, not an endgame for which we irreversibly change our society.
That aside, we could populate the solar system just as well with people who live a healthy century.
It only takes a few months to get to Mars with the current technology.
We could populate it equally well with people who live a healthy half-century. And think of the progress that would be possible with that sort of population turnaround!
