We're already on the cusp of post-human evolution. Through genetics and bionics the gap between the "haves" and "have nots" is going to grow by leaps and bounds. The poor folks will get to stay on Earth while the money will endeavor into space and a "space middle class" will be working for large corporations in a form of indentured servitude to pay for their bioengineering etc. The whole trans-humanism thing is really some pretty interesting stuff to look into if any of you are bored and I am sure it will go hand in hand with space travel.
