It’s not an either/or choice, we should do both, if only because learnings from performing planetary engineering on Mars will benefit similar efforts on Earth, but also because there’s no point in pigeonholing ourselves into a single planet. We’re cavepeople to Earth’s metaphorical cave and it would be wise to venture beyond it to become a true spacefaring civilization.
