Someone explain this to me, because I don't get it. Who exactly is going to colonize Mars? There's no economic benefit, just the opposite, it'll cost you a lot of money to get there. You won't get land out of it. You will never feel the sand and waves of the ocean on your feet or scream against the wind and thunder of a summer storm again. Life will be shitty and hard and the novelty of people living on Mars will die down quickly. What will Mars actually produce to fuel the growth of a colony? What will the colonists get out of living on Mars?
