I remember that. It still seems to make sense to research propulsive landings and gain NASA's approval for them eventually (while maintaining the well-proven water landing capability) if it would cut costs significantly.

Dragon2 is no use in the efforts to build a city on Mars. And even for a Moon colony, its too small. Its just there to earn money from flying people to the ISS and back. And for that its already good enough.
