Bc after Section 8 destroys our world it’ll need to destroy others

Would a good ole boy on Mars be described as “down to Mars”?

Could we live underground on mars? Idk much about mars so may be a obvious issue why that i just dont know.

Are you speaking of Barsoom? It’s our home

An asteroid could hit Earth tomorrow and if I had the option to live by going to Mars I'd wave goodbye to all the dipshits leaving. My arse isn't getting on board a spaceship. I'm thinking Carnival Cruise but a million times worse.

I'm currently reading The Martian by Andy Weir. Seems like the whole reason for humans going to Mars is that it would be a massive learning experience for any future off-Earth endeavour.

At first, yes. The long-term goal would be to "terraform" the planet. You can give Mars an atmosphere over time which would allow for plant growth, an increased temperature, and oxygen.

Because the Mars Hotel is awesome and the Sky was Yellow and the Sun is Blue there!

Good strategy cotton……
If humanity never existed the Earth would become unhospitable one way or another.

To OP, I think it's fair to think that we're going to end up something like the Expanse once we go extra-terrestrial. I'm definitely Martian at that point.
I do think the Expanse has somethings right about humanity's future. The people who colonize Mars will be just like the brave explorers who colonized what is now the United States. Free thinking, determined, and staunchly independent. They will not want to be held back by the demands of the "mother" planet which will become overrun and a socialist hell hole.

The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson is pretty detailed on how terraforming would work.

Think of all of the technological advancement that came from the Space Race…. Then think 100x better.
We need to figure out how to live on another planet/moon. Once we start, we will figure it out and eventually it’ll be second nature.

At some point Mars will be in the exact temperature and distance positioning from the Sun. At that time, the Earth will not likely be inhabitable any longer by humans. It is an inevitable necessity if our species wants to survive looooong term.
Of course, we can just be selfish and not gaf about what happens after we die. That’s a fairly standard mindset our species maintains.

The upside is, we probably wouldn't have to mow the lawn.

For man to survive on Mars we would have to live underground.
Living underground would protect us from the radiation and we could keep an atmosphere in there.
The Moon is the true stepping stone to interplanetary travel.

A very expensive experiment that can technically be done by other means at far less cost.
The expensive part is building reliable human life support systems systems for operational time scales of decades.
Food, water, atmospheric and radiation shield protection, and medical resources are just a few of the systems needed.
Geo-engineering an atmospheric and radiation shield is, from current understanding of Mars geology, not possible.
Given advances in quantum computing and robotics, within 10 years an initial exploration and validation effort for eventual human occupation is reasonably possible.
However, in the near term stay 25 years, nothing is gained by having humans occupy Mars that advanced robotics and quantum computational autonomy can't achieve.
Remove the extraordinarily expensive requirement for human life support systems, and a robust exploration effort of our solar system is within our reach far sooner than human populated efforts.
Where we might go after Mars is a complex question beyond current understanding of our Galaxy and potentially habitable planets, if any.
The factors that allowed Earth's formation and human life to arise are so improbable that duplication on other planets is in many ways inconceivable.
My 2 cents worth on the topic....
