I would, of course, still go to Mars in a heartbeat if I had half a chance. Seal me in a lava tube, feed me nutritional algae, put me on a treadmill hours daily to keep up bone density, increase my cancer risk by unknown amounts — I’ll go! But it may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Live for a while, I am guessing? Is a sustainable population on Mars even possible? Does Mars have the necessary elements: metals etc to build a civilization? Or will it need constant supplies from earth?

Unless we totally destroy the world and leave it a radioactive heap, we can restore it to habitability much easier and sooner than we ever could Mars. It might be a temporary refuge for a very few but will never be Earthlike. We might better concentrate on fixing Terra.

Mars is a lifeboat, not a 2nd ship. I think we should absolutely set up lifeboat societies around the solar system which can eventually recolonize Earth if things go very badly wrong, but we shouldn't pretend that they're suitable places for long-term habitation.

How bad would Earth have to get in order for Mars to be considered more habitable?
-
That’s addressed in the podcast but it would have to be MUCH worse than nuclear winter, climate change, or an extinction-level asteroid

I happen to like the idea of Venus as the back-up. Way back when, there was a pitch for a Bespin-like floating colony in the upper atmosphere. There's also the bonus feature of "if we figure out how to un-bork Venus we can un-bork Terra."
