Mars colonization is a PR boondoggle and there is no resource constraint on earth. Flying indentured servants and aristocrats to Mars to live in a manufactured community, in a manufactured environment to be closer to far-away minerals, sir, is idiotic when considered for what it is.
There is absolutely nothing scalable or sustainable about it. When people can build a sustainable community in our own deserts maybe we can talk about a sustainable desert community millions of miles away from our homeland.
Again, you reveal your ignorance. Constraint isn't required for geopolitical advantage.
> closer to far-away minerals
And you are revealing an ignorance of orbital mechanics and their implications. The shift of geopolitical power away from Europe wasn't because resource constraints were starving certain powers. It was because even more favorable conditions elsewhere manifested even larger economic potentials.
