I might have to disagree with you on this. Human beings have been around for nearly 20,000 years. Modern civilization as we know it has been around about 5000 years. 800 years is an awfully short time for such a drastic change.
A few select groups of people with the available technology might be able to live on other planets. But at that point, the environment might change the way humans develop. In zero gravity, a child growing up will not develop the muscle tissue needed to support itself on a planet with gravity.
And as of yet, the technology for a self-sufficient contained unit isn't there. Humans in any other environment, the moon, mars, etc, would need a level of technology to be able to use the new environment to sustain life. I don't think that the technology can be found in 800 years to handle human habitation due to the rate of growth in the last 100 years. Too many social problems will occur in the next 100 years alone that will require solving. With the current rate of population growth (doubling every 20-25 years) there will be approximately 1.3194139 * 10^23 people.
Sooner, rather than later, human population will reach that maximum level of sustenance on this planet. When that happens, there will be many more problems to deal with.
