colonist

Not if the "colonist stuff" is "fork the human race".

Being so far away the habitat needs to be guaranteed before launch of the colonist.

The Virginia company's Jamestown had half the colonist die in the first year, and 400 replacements came but by 1610 there were only 65 or so left alive.

Sure, there are obvious forms such as enslaving a population and making them mine ore from a mountain so that the colonist can get physical goods.

The colonists' sense of balance and motion, evolved to Earth gravity, would be constantly disorienting.

Someone interested in being an off-world colonist will have little use for earth assets; they could liquidate everything.

It's a clear evolution from the Latin "niger" to Spanish "negro" and illiterate English colonist "nigger".

BIG space doesn't solve the exponentially-reproducing colonist issue though...

If I remember my history correctly, this was pretty clearly demonstrated in battles between Native Americans and European colonists in the 16 and 1700s.

This was first collected in rubber, and the colonist but also the Congolese army committed atrocities such as the cutting off of hands, murder of village elders, and so on to maximize production.

If the Earth moans about the uselessness of the colonist 100 year old ideas and sends suggestions, the colonist will have been listening to the Earth for 100 years anyway before they hear those suggestions and will already moved far beyond them.

I'm just a cynical colonist, but I can't help thinking that an employer asking for that form prior to giving you a job offer is just borrowing the implied authority of government to convince you to compromise your own negotiating position.
