I think the parallel to Antarctica "colonies" is the closest thing to Mars colonies Antarctica is nearly inhospitable in terms of food production. There currently are about 5k people there in the summer session but it's mostly science based work. Certainly the is a lot of new science we could do on a different planet so I think that would be a big motivation
