Bad analogy is bad. The difference in livability between Africa and the other continents was small. The difference between Earth and Mars is enormous.

If you go to Mars, you will find yourself confined in tiny metal living quarters, surrounded by sudden death, and everything you want will either be unavailable or extremely expensive. You can get that experience today in places we call "prisons".

It will not always be that way. We're not going to Mars to live in prisons, in the long run. That's a very narrow perspective.
