I'm an avid "space guy", and have to say that keeping in orbit and waiting was the best plan. It would be to hard to settle the moon, or even get there. Getting to mars would be a massive strain on the thrusters, but might be possible. However, the Ark would likely lack neccessary resources and greenhouse gas production to terraform the whole planet any time within this millenia. While I advocate mars colonization in real life, the Ark would unfortunately have insufficient resources for such a task and is best left in orbit. If I ran the Ark... I probably would have had the oxygen systems maintained and checked much more regularly :)
