There is also the likely hood that they have their own biosphere's and that would make conservation and suitability an issue. No what I think we should do is colonize yes, but because plausible planets are so rare I think we should learn how to make earths. Mars will make a good place to start.
That would take hundreds of years. No government is going to want to put that much money into it, even if it were to mean saving the species. Not saying I'm against it, I'm just being pessimistic about it I guess.
I don't know much about the subject yet ( no one really does I suspect) but yes while it would take a long time most of that time would simply be waiting. Once your done shaping the planetiod and inducing a magnetic field it would be akin to making wine. We would be using natural processes for our own ends. With a whole lot of simply waiting.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
