Looks like Venus and Titan could be the next destinations.

We should build a small miner/factory that can replicate itself and build up a supply chain on the Moon, and on Mars.

NASA has proven it possible to make Oxygen on Mars, and it should be possible to extract it from the water on the moon.

Genetically engineered microorganisms for generating atmosphere from geological materials on Mars or the Moon.
