Searching the Solar System for the next adventure

Mankind has expanded to occupy all the vacant plots in the Solar System.  Travelling from Earth to Mars or the Jovian moons is no more newsworthy than a flight from London to New York or Melbourne.  People still have everyday concerns about mundane things, only the date, place and scope of human experience are different.

We have yet to voyage beyond the limits of our own solar system, except for a few deep space probes and space stations.(although  there's no stopping one or two alien races stopping off here for one reason or another).
