Reply to comment by svarogteuse in what is the real reason for SpaceX trying to "colonize Mars"? by dMartian-official

Only the discovery of life on Mars would make it worth going there. Otherwise its a waste.

ps, Columbus was returned in chains to spain as a failure. He died disappointed that he did not find the trade route to Asia.

We need to invest money and go there to discover any life there might be there. Probes aren't going to cut it. If there is life its tenuous and holding on in sheltered locations not on the wide open flat plains our probes land on.
