Man as we know is about 60,000 years old, give or take a millinia. Civilization is about 10,000 years old, give or take several hundred years, depending on what civilization is (cities vs. communities)
The odds of man lasting an additional 400,000 years is a stretch. We'll be our own executioners.
I do agree, though, that as a species we should focus more on our own planet. Also, 'colonizing' the Sahara wouldn't be good for the entire planet's climate.
Global weather and how each other works together is fascinating stuff.
