Mars isn’t capable of self sustaining life and we aren’t capable of transforming it.

The idea of a mars colony is far fetched. The idea that it would save humanity is a pipe dream.

While I partially agree that it is a pipe dream, I don’t see why a colony idea is far fetched. I feel like the technological challenges are no more insurmountable than a moon landing once was. Someone with a better understanding can probably correct me.
