  1. Because adapting to extremes there, actually will create innovations that would help us back here on Earth. Look at the insulin pump for example. It was devised for experiments on Skylab.

  2. THERE IS "ZERO LOGIC" FOR GOING TO MARS , EVEN IN THE NEXT GENERATION WHEN THE ROCKET-SYSTEMS ARE RELIABLE ENOUGH FOR A "MANNED ROUND TRIP". REDGARDLES THERE'S NOTHING THERE TO, BREATH, TO EAT, TO DRINK, TO BUILD A HOUSE WITH, TO HEAT A HOUSE ETC ETC…NOW IF WE COULD MINE HUGE QUANTITIES OF – RHODIUM. IRIDIUM ETC …THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. AND if ya happen to find a "Bug" there, Ya better not Bring It Back…. could kill off the Planet.

  3. There needs to be a good economic reason to colonize Mars. Just because it makes for a cool NOVA episode, doesn’t justify the billions it would cost. But even so, that would be billions better spent than moving half of Central America into hotels in NYC.

  4. Why did our ancestors leave Africa to colonise Europe or cross the Bearing Strait into North America? Why did Columbus cross the Atlantic or Cook travel to the other side of the world to Australia? Because it's our human nature to see what's beyond the next hill, there's no need find reasons to justify it.

  5. Closest planet to Earth is Venus – 40mln km, Mars is 58mln km. No reason to colonize Mars – it will take a couple thousand years to terraform Mars and just a couple hundred to colonize Venus. Even now human can comfortably live in 50km flying cities and establish factories for making oxigen and methane from carbon dioxide. Oxygen will be most wanted resource during exploration of space.

  6. Venus is closer, but there is no water and soil is very difficult to get to. A colony on Venus would be dependent on shipments of supplies from Earth for a much longer period of time.
