Yes, this sounds a lot like a Mars colony.

And you think that would be a fulfilling life if it wasn't exploring a new planet and shaping it to the way we want?

In terms of exploring a new planet, by the time people land on mars, the area they land on would have been explored by spacecraft and rovers in high detail.

In terms of shaping a planet the way we want, we can do that on earth, and more so if we figured out how to live without being dependent on other earth organisms.

You didn't answer the question. Is that life fulfilling? And is it so for most / all of the population?
