What is so special specifically about Mars? Are your farts going to smell that much sweeter because they're on Mars?

We should focus on building human made space habitats that are built for human comfort for *regular humans* (not just astronauts who have to train for years and live constantly in a giant ass space suit) first and then if/when we are successful on that iterate upwards and THEN when you've really iterated that and mastered that move on up to building a space colony with that technology on the moon. And then when you've mastered that, maybe try building a city in space, something that can sustain several hundreds of thousands of people without them needing to be astronauts. 

The goal should be to build a city in space, fighting against a rock in Mars that quite far away from us just is making the real end goal needlessly overly complicated for no great reason.
