Sounds familiar?

British Empire?

American Colonies?

Time is a circle.

    80+% of earth’s surface is still completely uninhabited by humans.
    I’m talking about the sea floor, Antarctica, most of Australia, most of Siberia, the high mountain ranges, and the Sahara.
    It would be so much easier to build colonies there than on Mars.
    Even if our worst predictions about climate change come true, hell even if warming was twice as bad, they would still be much more hospitable to human life than Mars.

    We haven’t colonized those places, because it simply isn’t worth the effort.
    So why would it be worth the much, much bigger effort to settle on Mars?
