What exactly is the incentive for anyone to go to mars?

- cryptoz 12y agoWell, that will differ from person to person. My personal incentive to go to Mars is that I want to study its atmosphere, help modify it to become denser and warmer, to be friendlier to life. Others will have different incentives to go, I imagine.

Not unless the research leads to the ability to capture one of the thousands of asteroids which contain an upwards of $1 trillion in minerals. A better question is probably, "What will the consequences be if we limit ourselves to Earth?"
