Alternative 3 was really cool, but I'm sure world power elites have given it SERIOUS considerations, no matter how silly the idea.

It seems to me that space colonization will self select for "the best and the brightest" of necessity. In fact, that's how and where I see the singularity happening not back down here on Earth where the "left behind"
remainder of humanity is likely to undergo a kind of "devolution" or long, slow decline into a permanent, global third-world type of condition that will last for millenia. (Hopefully, at least, it will be accompanied by a drastic population decline.)
