As someone who loves space and astronomy, i think the idea of colonizing Mars is just plain ridiculous.
We're a tiny speck in a incredibly large universe, why must humans continue to fuck with things? Why can't we just observe the beauty surrounding us for a change? They call it progression but I call it regression, as a human species.
Does Earth not offer more than we need? Why do we need to live on Mars? Its inhabitable without some sort of artifical life support. It's deserted. There's nothing there. May have once upon a time been a place similar to Earth but not anymore.
Why do we need to spend millions and billions of dollars on this? When we could be using this money to help people on Earth (our home) to contribute to making it a better place? Who is going to live on Mars? Select people, that's it.
The only way for humanity to persist is to move to the stars.
Colonizing mars is dumb, raiding it for ore on the other hand...
There is enough water and various ores and other resources in our solar system to support hundres of billions of people, and build a fleet of death stars.
