A comment on Mars is, at best, no less risky a place than Earth.

I’ve always felt like a moon base would be the perfect stepping stone to Mars, plus, you can sustainably mine H3!

I think going directly to Mars is going to be a heck of a lot more complicated than figuring out the quarks of space living in the Moon, even though they do not parallel 1 to 1 it would be an eye opening experience I think none the less.

Also closer to the home planet, and could serve as a sort of “to Mars” way station

What is it with the H3? The only thing you'd need it for is fusion. If you are capable of fusion you can breed it by that.
