Yes, In a century or two, but at the moment we couldn't colonize the moon or even land on mars.

Colonize, probably not. I'd bet we could get there and back though. Problem is it would cost incredible amounts and scientifically we are getting a lot more from robotic missions right now. It just doesn't make any sense to even if we can since the return would be little more than being able to say we'd done it, we'd spend enough on that one mission to finance dozens of robotic ones.

If we survive long enough to eventually colonize anything I'd think having the groundwork laid with robotics before the first human ever sets foot on the place is most likely, moon excepted since we've already stepped there.
