I donβt think space habitats any significant distance from Earth will be possible. Mitigating the increased radiation will be tough enough just trying to get to Mars, much less trying to stay in space out that far. At least on Mars we can hang out in old lava tubes or something.

Until we are able to travel way faster than what we can do now, I think itβs more feasible to build in space. Lots of implications for long term effects on human bodies though. Most ideal is a wormhole to an identical planet to earth so humans wonβt need to adapt.

Both! All three!
yes.
if we want to become a true space faring species resilient to all that the universe can throw at us we will need both
If we are capable of doing one, then we can do both.
