The videos I posted didn't have anything to do with people actually sitting on space ships or anything, just an idea about a way to colonize the galaxy over thousands of years. I brought it up because we're possibly not that far off from being able to do it for real, and if we can do it, another intelligence could possibly do it also, which would be much easier for us to detect, or us to come in contact with. If another intelligence is spreading exponentially, maybe they'll just show up in our solar system one day.
But yeah, I know what you're talking about, but I think for us as a people, it's better to get off earth sooner rather than later.

Best bet then would be for us to figure out a way to live on the moon/mars/jovian moons semi-comfortably.
If there is lots of accessible water in a more temperate climate on Mars that is one step. Would need to live mostly underground (cosmic radiation) and figure out how to live in weaker gravity or create artificial gravity.
Knowing how to mine Asteroids and Comets for water and metals would go a long way to help as well.
