Exploration always has benefits. The knowledge gained in setting up our first extraterrestrial colony will be vital in the progress humanity will need to make to truly survive in the long term.
Never mind that science and exploration continually open up new economic doors for us all.
No one says that Earth isn't important, or that our ability to survive on it isn't vital. Best not to have all of our eggs in one basket either.

It will never be a colony. Only outposts doing research, just like antartica.
No one will have children on Mars, so it aint a colony that way either. This would be a human rights violation.
These are great responses. This Lab of Science & Reason & Ethics is loving the clarity it creates.
