This graphic sums up why it's better to focus on Earth than to try to begin a new civilization on Mars. We need to practice on the Moon first. For example, on Mars:
I have life. I have vast oceans and lush forests. I have rivers to swim. Air to breathe. But the way I’m being treated, that part sucks. You use me and pollute me. You overheat me. You use every resource I have and return very little back from where it came. And then, you dream of Mars. A hellhole. A barren, desolate, wasteland you can’t set foot on fast enough.
Why not use some of that creative energy and billions on saving me? You know, the planet that’s giving you what you need to live right now.
Mars can wait. I can’t.
