I believe it is the CEO of Amazon that would like to establish a large colony on Mars, making the safe assumption that some extinction event on Earth will get us anyway.
While there are numerous difficulties to this, there is one, I did not see mentioned, which makes this impossible. The gravity of MARS is 38% that of Earth.
While we could wear lead suits of Mars to alleviate bone degradation, we simply cannot do anything about the degradation of our organs because of this low gravity.
At best, we could survive a generation.
Is this just a pipe dream of a very rich man or is there some feasibility to such a colony?
