The question says it all, personally i think a space station would be better than colonizing on another planet.
You can make food out of powder? lol

I hear ya on that part. but on mars there are hash storms that wipe out everything, and as on earth, quakes happen alot, meteors hit way too often as well! :O
lol i love the part of the hollowed out meteor inhabitants...

ohh this reminds me of that theory of civilization in the center of the earth.. saying that its hallow under us.. they have the proof, just let them dig into it i say!!!
 
I take my civilizations with salt and pepper. None of that fancy outer spice stuff.
 
Why would it be better? Take Mars, not a very nice place but there is CO2 you can turn into air, ice you can turn into water, powdered rock you can turn into soil. There are probably minerals too. The day is 24 hours and 37 minutes long, so we would be used to that and so would Earth plants, so we could grow food. There is also gravity, and most machinery we have and humans themselves are adapted to working in gravity.

Setting up on a space station is worse than setting up on a big ship in the middle of the ocean on Earth. At least on the ship you have got air, water and can catch the occasional fish but in spaces there is none of that.
 
"How would you try to start a civilization in outer spices"? Well first I would build a town on top of peprica, and then maybe put some farm fields on some cinnamon...

lol, well I would like to do it in the Oort Cloud. I don't know who said it, but someone once said the Oort Cloud might one day be called home by trillions of humans. Assuming this is the future I would use the vast amounts of Helium-3 to power large space stations built within the asteroids we mined the He-3 from. Connecting two asteroids togethor with many super strong cables and then spinning them around the other would produce artificial gravity so residents would be able to live comfortably without having to go through the nasty process of evolving to cope with zero-g. Should the Helium-3 run out in one are we could build some engines on our habitat and fly it to a new region, or just abandon it for a new hollowed out asteroid.

Plus when your at the outer edge of the Oort Cloud your already a large portion of the way to other star systems. Using those engines built to move the space station to go from our Oort Cloud to another star's Oort Cloud would be pretty simple. From there my fleet of flying rock habitats could move deeper into that new star system colonizing planets and the rest of its Oort Cloud before moving on to the next star system.
