So my proposal is this: Spend a lot less money building a much larger, much more durable self-sufficient colony of robots. Once that's going good and strong, maybe we program the robots to produce the oxygen and water and complex organic molecules and radioactive shielding we need in a reliable enough way that it's worth sending people. If that all doesn't quite work out, well, we still got a self-sufficient colony of robots.
