The not having a magnetic field is a smaller problem then people think. The rate of reduction in the atmosphere is not very large.
If you manged to create the atmosphere the radiation on the surface would already be reduced. The extra distance to the sun plus the atmosphere more then makes up for the missing magnetism.
Also, medicine is advancing, if this is actually still the major issue in 30 years is questionable.
But overall I agree, we are not there yet with plans but if we can build a research station there and have constant flights and constantly people living there, space technology will continue to improve and eventually we might reach that level.
