If so, this should not preclude us from cleaning up our own planet first!

That and O'Neill cylinders

Isn't there some dynamics problem with cylinders in terms of the physics? Can not remember what is was. Maybe stability.

Maybe, I haven't given them much thought. It's further away than starting Mars would be. It would take much longer but we could start terraforming sooner than build an O’Neill cylinder
