Let’s discuss colonizing Mars. Why?

1) humans would have to be supported at all times by an artificial bubble in order to survive
2) all needs would have to be met artificially - food and water
3) psychologically how would it be healthy for a human to never be able to go outside nor breathe natural air?
4) As a launching point to other planets this too seems like a falsehood. No proof of any other planets that could support life have been discovered.
So aside from being cool to say humans went there, what’s the point in estalblishing a colony on an inhabitable planet ?

We are already there. It’s called Project Total Recall. Look it up. It’s why Biden is brain dead.

Because some variation of Interstellar is inevitable. Whether it be an asteroid, nuclear holocaust, a viral apocalypse, AI, blight, global warming, etc, we have to get off this planet if our species is to survive. Mars is the second step after the Moon. We have to go there for the survival of our species.

Their candy bars are excellent

Atmosphere is 95% CO2. Pressure is 0.15 psia. Zero water.
Those are pretty big impediments.

Mars is Heaven

Use a planet up, throw it away and destroy another one?
Good strategy cotton……

Mars has a very small magnetosphere. Forming an atmosphere that humans could live would be impossible.

Colonization disproportionately affects minorities. We should think hard about this.

Ummm, no. Save for terraforming it which we may eventually be capable of doing, Mars isn’t our salvation but the second step of many for it. Like after Mars it’s to go to Europa, and then Titan, until we’re advanced enough to leave the solar system and go to Alpha Centauri.
You might as well be giving up farming after tilling the dirt and refuse to plant the seed. That’s how stupid your point is.

Helium-3 is on the Moon not Mars.

Read ‘Red Rising’ it has the answers to all of your questions

Saturn’s moon Titan has more potential for human occupancy than Mars. The atmosphere on Titan is 98% nitrogen and 22 psia ( we are 14.7 psia).
We would suffocate under 98% nitrogen but if we could figure out how to introduce oxygen into Titan’s atmosphere it wouldn’t be lost to space like Mars.
