Now, I guess that, on your own list, there will be things that require money and so would compete with Mars colonisation and that are ranked higher. OK, I get that.

But I find it incredible that you do not think getting a new planet is important. Even if you do not believe in Climate Change. Remember, "the rapture is not an exit strategy", to quote whoever said that first...
