Why not?  there's plenty of water only a small delta-v away (asteroids, Mars'
moons, etc).

Who needs a gravity well (otherwise known as planet)?  The entire solar
system could be colonized.  All you really need is raw materials and energy,
and those exist in convenient packages out in the solar system.

Do you have to have a planet under you just because your parents did?  Let
your imagination roam...  :)
