Wouldn't the moon would be a better choice? Asteroids could be processed there, it could be a de facto source of microwave power for asteroid mining ops and a weigh station to bring metals back safely.

- SCAQTony 9y agoI am astonished by your comment. In no way would Mars assist the earth whatsoever economically or as a safe haven. The purpose of spending billions upon billions on an off world reservation where you could never go outside or produce anything productive for the earth is not worth it. IMHO the moon is not boring it would be vital if we take mining for metals off world and perhaps discover new ways clean up out carbon issues and economic disparity.
