Because if you believe in it gives you the comfort of not having to care about long term sustainability on earth. It's one of the many facets of the "tech will fix everything" people.

What life do you want to live, the "we're slowly fucking up the only hospitable place humanity will ever step foot on" or the "we'll be sipping UBI financed mojitos with Musk on Mars by 2050" ?

Your argument is severely undermined by the fact that mars is already fucked up and we need to employ lots of tech to fix it. We can then use that tech to solve some of the issues on earth.
