Is the colonization of space within God's plan for humanity?

(For Levi)

Many of the science fiction stories we reed involve space exploration. The idea of colonizing the galaxy is a appeaing to me but what if it is not in God's plan for humanity. There is not any discussioin of space exploration in the Bible. I have a hard time seeing how it would fit into the current interpretations of the reincarnation. I specifically wounder if space exploration could be a present day Tower of Babel. What are your thoughts?
