Even if every RIR gets to 3 /12s in 50 years, that's still only 15/512ths of the

That's good news - we need to make sure we have a /3 for both the Moon and Mars colonies.  ;)

I'll be surprised and happy to see it if we reach the point of colonizing either of those locations
before we reach the point of IPv6 being an insufficient protocol for modern needs.
