Unless we develop some significant terraforming technology and methods soon, Mars won't have the climate to grow a decent coffee plant, and so will be just one more place where can't get a decent cup of coffee. EDIT: hey, great thought, it means we will not be assaulted by pictures of Starbucks on Mars. That's a Good Thing™!
So, asks me, what's all this fuss about life on Mars? Until they have hot babes, gold, oil, vanadium, platinum, food, or other useful commodities, what is the point of colonization? Nothing.
Now, exploration of Mars in search of the origin of the universe or even just the solar system, or at least more clues, has its own merits consistent with some of the Space program's aims and objectives.
It aint all about sattelite TV, ya know . . . :)
