We can't even keep our own habitable planet livable鈥攚hat makes anyone think we'll succeed on a frozen, radiation-blasted rock with no air? Fix the home you have first.

Mars is a freezing, airless wasteland. Let's fix the only planet actually designed to keep us alive before blowing trillions on a backup plan.
