Mars One plans an unmanned trip to Mars in 2018. Then following up in 2024, they have scheduled a one way manned trip to Mars. Thousands of people have already signed up for this trip. So, colonizing for colonizing' sake is already a reality. 40 years ago, I might have signed up.

The recent discovery of ilmenite would mean that they could use moon as a production site for space craft, with locally produced steel + titanium.

Build a retirement resort on the moon.
And they can paint the resort bright white using titanium oxide mined on the moon.

Old people would feel like kids again in the low gravity.
plus cheap replacement titanium hips.
