That’s not an argument for Mars, it’s an argument for living somewhere other than just Earth. A distant, low-g, airless, wasteland seems like an odd choice for that. If we’re going to have to terraform, at least Venus has an atmosphere and some tectonic activity, and even space stations or asteroids would be more feasible than Mars.

So why Mars?
