Nothing captures the imagination quite like human exploration. We could have set two coconuts adrift and let the atlantic current carry them to the new world, too. It is fantasticaly expensive, though..and we could get alot more unmanned missions out there for a hell of alot less. As far as I see it, a drive to colonize mars is useful in that it would make us a two planet species. Unique and thus uniquely resilient, so far as we can tell..in life.
I think we can and should practice our terraforming chops here, ofc. We have problems we could fix here...some of them might actually be addressable by off planet exploitation. Why treat a living world like a dump when we can rape the ever-living shit out of any number of dead rocks to our black hearts content, right?
