Endor is a Moon....a habitable Moon...at least in Star Wars.
So, I guess it is possible.
We can't land on a Gas Giant....so it is going to have to be the moons....and that means, after Mars, the for the rest of the Solar System...until you get to the Ort Cloud, and Pluto...but it depends on the direction you wish to go. Plus, it is all out there orbiting the Sun, so...it might not be convenient to always go to Pluto, if you want to go in the opposite direction. As the "window" is a very long time. So....several Ort bases might be necessary.
One solution maybe to use a Comet...to get from HERE to THERE in the solar system...then when you are out far enough....leave the Comet...let the comet do all the work and save some fuel. Like taking the bus. Conserve energy, do some science, and enjoy the view!
I really don't see any of this happening ANY time soon...
