Pack ya bags lads! We're off to colonize!

Hmmm, the only way to colonize this planet, would be to build ships that carried self deploying construction units and cryogenic material for clones and growing facilities. Or ships that could support colonists for generations. Unless we can commandeer a ship with faster than light capabilities
