Planets should be able to develop within the dusty disk

We could use some fresh real estate. Anything we can do to help this along?

Patience. In, say, a million years or so, there might be a couple of promising planets forming.
But then we'd have to wait for the heavy meteoric bombardment to end and the planets to cool from red-hot.
That'll take, oh, say 10 million more years. Then we'll have to talk about atmosphere formation and composition.
That'd be a while. So be patient. Good things come to those who wait (and wait, and wait).
