I wouldn't even want to live in Texas again.

By mutual agreement Texans would be required to settle on the Sun.

How would settlements/colonies meet their raw material needs?

If raw material needs can’t be met locally, then it makes no sense to settle on the surface of other planets.

It would be cheaper to put up orbital habitats around the earth for any number of inhabitants than to plant the inhabitants on the surface of other planets if much of the raw material must be supplied from the earth or from other bodies in space.

Settlements and colonies won't have any material needs to meet because there aren't ever going to BE any settlements or colonies.

... and could probably adapt quite easily. Cool

If it was comfortable and affordable, like those 2nd World countries expats like to retire to, I'd be interested in retiring there.
