I think the analogy is poor, because the "New World" was abundant with resources. The new world of Mars is not, and nearly everything would need to be brought there.

abundant with resources? How do you explain the first colonies starved to death in several different locations? Its not the resources that matter as much as the ability and capability to extract something from them.

  No matter how large the numerator (the ability), divide by zero (lack of resources) is still an error.

    There is no shortage of chemical matter and minerals on Mars.
