On the other hand, the list of disasters that would leave Earth less inhabitable than Mars without also destroying any Mars colony is pretty rare. If human survival is the primary goal, it might be best to work on perfecting that sort of self contained habitat somewhere in the remote parts of Earth.

Perfecting the habitat is orthogonal to perfecting the means of intra-system travel. Musk is investing in the latter anyway.
