I’ll concede a bit of classic explorer emotion to those that wish to conquer visiting Mars as if it were a mountain (because it’s there). But it comes with a virtual death sentence for all that stay for extended periods. We dont need to visit to find out how deadly it is.
There are much better avenues for pure science in space research than this BS of colonizing a planet that is totally-inhospitable to life for reasons we cannot change...despite those that think we can change our own biosphere...
