Without genetic engineering, biological speciation will take genetic isolation for tens to hundreds of thousands of years.   Keeping a viable population on mars going for that long without contact with and material import from earth likely require quite a thorough and complete terraforming of mars.

Speciation doesn't take thousands of years. Divergence can start in a few generations.

Gee.


Slight problem, huh??

Fusion reactors. From the ships that brought us there.
Ahhhhh....

Brilliant. Park a couple hundred pounds of plutonium on top of a controlled explosion and hope it makes it out of the atmosphere.


Gee -- NOTHING could go wrong there, huh????
