Not that people shouldn't go to the Moon, but there are a few 'amenities' that make Mars more attractive for a lot of people:
- Water and free carbon dioxide are hugely more abundant on Mars than on the Moon. These are essential supplies for increasing biomass and making fuel.
- There's a nice, somewhat-protective atmosphere.
- There's a 24.66 hour day.
- Temperatures are relatively moderate.
- pmoriarty 10y agoThere's also the possibility of starting a greenhouse effect on Mars[1], which would make it more habitable. No such possibility on the Moon.
