I see your point. It's not necessarily a matter of living there. People would hate it and it's unrealistic with current technology. Right now, it's a matter of developing the technology to be able to travel and live outside our planet. We're really talking about technology that will take hundreds of years to develop - if at all.

If it's ever going to happen we need to move forward. Going to the moon was great but we've stalled since then.

We talk about jobs ending. We'll space research and development is a fertile ground for new jobs.

Yeah, I'm a big supporter of the Mars plan, it's just that I can't convince myself that a big colony is possible any time soon.
