When is the earliest we could see O'Neill cylinders? Could we see them in the next 60 years? Or could we have life extension at least?

Not even Tomino believes in this crap anymore. Probably not even O'Neill would.

Just as soon as the parasitical majority of humanity is removed, we can rapidly move into being a spacesteading society.

Id say 1000 years. We need some goddamn asteroid mining. We need to be able to make ships in space and start the real dumb shit like miles long star ships and a basic dyson swarm. I just dont see it happening anytime soon.

It's not gonna happen in our lifetime, but I can imagine a cylinder autonomous colony ship setting off for the stars eventually.

why would you even have a colony ship if our lifetimes are so limited. exploring the stars will be left to AI

Generational much? Eventually humans will not be satisfied sending probes out into space anymore, they'll want to go themselves. It's like bungee jumping versus watching a bungee jumping video.

A hundred years tops.
For the smaller models, larger ones will take a little longer.
