Mars is a pipedream cultivated by sci-fi and scam artists.
Terraforming Venus would be a lot better but much harder techwise.
A bunch of juvian and saturn moons could also be interesting since they have gravity and readily available water.
anyway colonizing any of those is so far out we will have to see how tech develops.

>Mars will never be terraformed and terraforming Mars is a terrible idea.
isn't musk selling this idea? colony with MILLIONS of people?
he isn't the only one, MarsOne comes to mind among many others.
I totally agree with what you say, having small bases like in the artic, or simple mining colonies is feasable and interesting, but the talk here is fully functional independent colonies. that's not gonna happen anytime soon (200++ years).
