The point would be relieving the stress humanity places on Earth. Better to bring life to a dead world than continue killing the only know source of life in the Universe. Setting up on Mars, you can literally do no wrong and we do have the technology currently to allow it.

I don't think all the required rocket launches and resources from earth would relieve any stress on Earth. Lol.

Look, I get how cool it would be. But the laws of physics and the reality of our still primitive technology are against it.

Thats what the Artemis Project is all about. Practice makes perfect. You can actually go ahead and trace human technological advancement right back to the Stone Age. It’s not just going to stop. Humanity will have an every growing need for energy for its growing civilization. It’s not going to get all of that on Earth.
