I have no desire to go to Mars, but plenty of people had no desire to go to the Americas either, and yet someone did.
I don't think the fact that Mars is inhospitable is really an argument against it. I think there is a reasonable question to ask about how much would we be willing to spend to create/support a Mars colony, but I don't think it makes sense to dismiss out of hand just because there's nothing currently there for us.
