I'm pretty convinced we will either die out or fill the galaxy with people. If we can start the reaction by going one other place and inhabiting it I think it will ultimately set off a chain reaction. Lots of work to do between now and then but it seems like its mostly engineering now vs new discoveries.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. There are still lots of issues with just surviving the journey, let alone making a foreign planet habitable and establishing a society. We need lots more discoveries in energy and understanding human physiology before it becomes just an engineering problem.
