   There are LOTS of them.

   At the present time, it would have to be Mars and some   
   of the moons of Jupiter.  Possibly other moons of   
   Saturn can be considered, as the presence of a sizable   
   atmosphere might not be a necessity.  If this is the   
   case, our Moon and even asteroids could be considered.   
      
   This is not appropriate for this newsgroup, but I believe   
   the future for mankind is to have lots of independent   
   groups living in (not on) asteroids or small moons.
