Has anyone ever been frustrated by the fact that your civilization ends on earth. Sure, you send some colonist to Alpha Centari but for what? I think Civ III should go beyond earth to establish colonies elsewhere. Start with the moon (possibly even opt for a two moon system), move to mars, and eventually the voyage to Alpha Centari. You'd have transport ships to go between, and it would work like settling any other continent.
This should be made as simple as possible yet as realistic as possible. Realism is a big concern for me. I would have trouble playing if the units were too science fiction like... other people's imaginations don't always work like mine. I think Venger hit it on the point in his "new tech concept" thread. We have most of the technology today. Future enhancements (not to mention the political and economic substructure) would quickly make space exploration and colonization a reality.
