I think you are missing the bigger premise with colonization of another planet. I agree your challenge would be worth of consideration but the premise is that if earth due to some reason becomes uninhabitable having a colony on another planet gives human population ability to continue on. This is regardless of whether we have colonized every inch of this planet right?
- Retra 8y agoEarth is unlikely to ever become less inhabitable than Mars, even under the most pessimistic scenarios.

Let’s still reach Mars but let’s also make the best use of our resources here so we can minimise the failures over their. Not eliminate, but significantly reduce.
