We will have problems on Earth which will prevent spending the bucks. Heck, for Iraq alone we could have gone to Mars, and that's going to be a financial drain for a long time.
And the world population is exploding. With energy, water quality and air quality problems, the problems for mankind as a whole will multiply exponentially, and the developed nations will be scrambling to maintain their "have" status at the expense of the vast majority of people.
So, unless it's done very rapidly, I don't think there will be the disposable resources. Unless Russia and China link up.
Then it could happen, as they have about everything they need in the way of resources, and could leave the US to continue to attempt to colonize the rest of the world, with all the problems that implies.
My opinions only. Etched in Jell-O.
