> live in man-made structures orbiting the sun at a distance of 1AU, which is debatedly much more sensible than trying to live on Mars. The resources still need to come from somewhere. Either we mine them on Mars, asteroids, or the moon. Mining is a lot easier when you have gravity you can push against to apply force. Rather than move the resources off-body though, its easier and cheaper to use them directly in-situ.
