militarize, colonize and explore/develop potential resources for trade, business and the defense and expansion of human liberties and the dreams of mankind.... for starters.
some folks are content to stay on the land, fearing travel in the sea and air.
some folks are not.
explorers, pioneers and settlers... are ALWAYS looking for opportunities to push beyond the current envelope's limitations.

Not just becasue I've read C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy, I'm not quite sure I'd want mankind to spread its influence much further into God's creation....
I think we have a pretty good idea of Mars' raw materials; perhaps a few more drones could help us find out further.
We can get plenty of hydrogen here on Earth, for our new round of engines; I like that idea.
