I guess that is what I mean. It's a vicious, barren wasteland of frigid, dead, oxygenless nothingness. If we could transform an uninhabitable planet into a habitable one, I would think it would be far easier to make our current planet more habitable.


Yes, but we need some insurance as a species, and Mars is it.

Do you have any idea how many times we've come close to WWIII over a flock of geese? Sorry, but we need aa other planet to assure our survival as a species.

That is my main point in the OP. There is a difference between creating a survival outpost per se and colonizing the planet - aspiring to have a civilization live there. It just seems to be an exercise in futility over what I perceive is hyper climate change paranoia (or more likely special interest greed).
