In addition to the problems you outline, I'll toss in the lack of a magnetic field (for both Mars and the moon.)

While not as glamorous as the lack of, you know, water, air, heat etc it makes solar and cosmic radiation pretty deadly. Which means the bases need to be underground. So, um, the first thing to ship to both should be a big heavy digger...
