I think Space Colonization will happen. There are so many resources on Earth and we require other sources for them. We are taking resources formed over hundreds or thousands of years right now. Eventually the cost to get supplies will increase despite technology improving.

I disagree with this. I think the material sciences are operating on a fast enough pace that we will see that averted. Between the idea of "growing" our structures as well as using molecular assembly, I think by the 2050 date musk has out there, we will see a ton more advancement where the materials we are used are actually "built" at the molecular level.
That said, people might head out to space just to do so. I do think one thing we see a lot of that doesnt get much attention is space manufacturing.

That's an interesting idea and it might work out if it's possible. At our current rate, supplies are depleting faster than they can recover naturally. I would hate to see us run out of resources before we can achieve molecular assembly. Nature is resilient but even that has its limits.

One of the decent aspects of capitalism is innovation.
Tesla is now moving towards another component since Nickle is getting so tough to get a hold of.
Companies can adapt when forced to. Nothing forces them to alter things than a resource shortage.
This actually only increases the pace of innovation and the acceleration of technological development when you think about it. Necessity is a grand motivator.
