If by colonize you mean having something like a city there with a large number of people, I agree that it's not going to happen any time soon, because there is simply no motivation why one would want to do that. But a small manned mission, why not?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
