Imagine how much money it would cost. It's a pipe dream. The money is better spent here fixing our more terrestrial problems.

Yep. I'd totally be behind the challenge of going there, exploring, sciencing the shit out of it, maybe even small colony etc... a lot of the lessons learned and tech needed would be useful on Earth. But trying to make it earthlike is a waste of time, resources and money. 0.1% of the effort would probably get rid of all the excess CO2 out of our own atmosphere.
