I mean honestly if humans are traveling across the universe for new homes….

We have solved a couple things first:

We can store entire humans on digital mediums that last forever. We can edit humans to be adaptable to a range of environments.

It wouldn’t make sense to truly settle on other planets where things like that haven’t been solved here first. Anyone living on other planets would be more like token adventurers, not humans intent on spreading humanity.

Space sucks, even if we found another planet with the right amount of oxygen and the right temperature, we couldn't eat whats there. We'd have to bring our own food to grow and probably top soil to grow it in

Earth is our best bet, we all individually at some point in our lives accept that nothing lasts forever. Ring worlds or Orbital habitats could work, but then greed cuts in and starts cheaping out on life support systems. Earth is the best bet

I say we smash it with enough asteroids to double it size, if we do it one after another maybe we can heat it up enough to get the core going again and then wait a few million years before the surface is cool again so we can continue terraforming it.
