The point is to sustain human life on another planet. That’s incredibly challenging and the quality of life will be poor for the first generations. Human history is full of people who have done exactly this.

North America etc. turned out to be effectively more “habitable” than the old world due the abundance of fertile land and other resources relative to population. That can never happen on Mars. > Human history is full of people who have done exactly this. Are there any self-sustainable colonies in Antarctica (which is more habitable than Mars by at least several magnitudes)? So not humans have never done anything even remotely close to what colonizing Mars would require.
