	Short of a warp drive-tier break through that causes it to rain Nobel Peace Prizes, not for a while. To be sure, I'm positive we'll have dabbled in interplanetary colonization, or started seriously planning it within our life times, but interstellar will take longer. Space travel, however, remains a necessity for us to survive, so we better get cracking.

	Interstellar travel is almost certainly thousands of years away from our current technological state. We need to get some better understanding of quantum physics and quantum [i]engineering[/i] before we'd be able to bring the concept of traveling to another star within a reasonable amount of time a feasibility. Colonization of the Solar System, though, I'd assume may begin a little bit before the start of the next millenium.

	Year 4000, at the earliest. Certainly not in this millennium.
