Look, I love science fiction. I'd read fiction about colonies in Mars or Alpha Centauri. There is just no there there in reality.

I'm for careful curiosity missions. We waste money on so much—why not curiosity? But we won't have colonies on Mars in any sense of the word

Ignoring the Mars hype, it's helpful (to medical science) to know why elephants have a low incidence of cancer of course.

Anything about elephants is interesting! Amazing species. :-D

Colonization depends on the creation and transportation of ever-smaller, ever more intelligent, seeds.

Unfortunately, the only way is not to go extinct here. The science, the math, the energy, the tech of colonizing mars .. just doesn't work.
