It seems like that would be a huge multi-generational project, but seeing as future-tech is basically magic the work is capable of being completed by a single busy worker. If we want to spread out to become an interstellar species and not live in the gigantic tin cans of O’Neil cylinders, we’ll need to aim for planets that are close enough to Earth-standard to work with and terraform from there. Earth life evolved as it did because if it didn’t fit in perfectly with the local conditions it would die, and that’s great for the home planet but terrible for anywhere else in the universe.
In the last couple decades we’ve discovered hundreds of planets, all of which have one thing in common in that they’re completely uninhabitable. Astronomy is a busy field, producing new discoveries on a regular basis.
