re: What is the deal with colonizing Mars?

The emphasis should be put on developing robots or droids that don't require our "necessities" to explore space.

Ok, name the last rover that went to Mars on the top of your head. How about the probe that went to Pluto? Now name the first mission that landed man on the Moon? There's a big difference between those three. No one gives a shite about having another droid on Mars. It doesn't produce a new generation of scientists. There's a reason the tech boom started with people who watched the Moon Landing as kids. We need to put man there to come together as a species instead of the stupid bullshite we worry about every day.
