quite soon - in 25 years probably, we should have an operational interferometer telescope in space capable to see Earth like planets around nearby stars.
Converting C02 to O2 is no problem - plants have been doing it for many million years  A little genetical engeneering and we will have algae capable to live on Mars providing there is enough water underground.
