There is currently no known way a Mars colony could be economically self sustaining or self contained. Literally zero.

So unless there is something truly magical up someone’s sleeve, we need to keep Earth workable for us for the foreseeable future. And I think that is a good thing.

Fuck Mars, all those asteroids are going to be way more valuable for Earth. Getting to them needs the same exact industry.

Also more energy efficient as no need to climb back out of a deep gravity well!
