mars is, and will continue to be, uninhabitable due to the inability to support an atmosphere and the fact that the gravity would destroy visitors bodies over time (caridovascular, skeletal, muscular systems all wrecked). it also has absolutely no meaningful natural resources to sustain complex life, and the cost, complexity and energy required to send resources that would be consumed extremely quickly are such a poor return on investment. anyone trying to eke out an existence on this planet would have quality of life so poor, they would almost certainly become incredibly depressed, trapped in a poorly lit martian tunnel, completely unable to escape. this is why nobody has been to mars, nobody is going to mars, and nobody ever will.

Mars literally does have an atmosphere and clouds; though rare. There's no realistic way to terraform it without it going byebye over a couple thousand years though. Not even considering radiation because of no magnetic shielding.
I think we should be spreading live out as much as we can though, just in case it is actually rare and the Earth goes boom.

Yes but Elon is still a moron.

(obviously he didnt come up with the whole Mars objective as an ideology. Thats coopted from Robert Zubrin, or before him Carl Sagan etc)

The reason he is a moron is because he thinks that this is a plan to somehow safeguard civilization from chaos in Earth, and he is currently brownosing some of the shittiest Collectivist Big Governments in existance (and/or their supporters) for twitter likes and "support".

But doesn't realize that the delta-v to merely "hit" Mars from Earth (rather than land) is fairly trivial. (in fact for an optimum trajectory/window, its less than landing on the Moon. Remember, I said "hit", not capture or slow down)

This means that if someone can already make it to the Moon (Russia/China) they can hit Mars.

The idea that if there is "Chaos" on Earth, governments that are so hateful that they destroy others near them (Ukraine/Taiwan) would live Mars alone to play space empire moronic.

So it takes a huge amount of payload and effort to kickstart a martian city, not to mention one that would even begin terraforming, and a relatively tiny "interplanetary ICBM" to do huge damage to make all fancy inflatable things on the surface concetrated somewhere go pop.

I think you are missing the point here. No properly educated person in their right mind would consider terraforming Mars plausible. As an academic exercise its interesting to examine as it brings a host of disciplines together, if only to arrive at the foregone conclusion. But that's not the only reason why we shouldn't entirely discount discussion on the topic, as I will explain.

There's a phrase "A little education enables stupid people to think of even stupider things". This is exactly the case here. Subhuman intellects, deriving their scientific knowledge from the back of cereal boxes, enamored by popsci, and the wild internet lies, will immediately jump on any bandwagon that promises them an escape from the mediocrity their massive profusion has bestowed upon this planet. Herein lies a great opportunity to undo the damage caused by the proliferation of ignorant peasants over the past two centuries. Send them to Mars. Let them buy into the terraforming nonsense, instead paint them great vistas of greening a brave new world where they leap around in 0.38 G while masturbating furiously to the sight of huge domed cities with a myriad of hoverboards zooming overhead like a cloud of sand-flies.
Now of course actually sending the bottom half of the bell curve to Mars would be too expensive. So instead we just take a train and decorate the outside of it to look like some sort of futuristic spaceship. Say its taking them to Mars. Make up some slick CGI videos to sell them on the idea, just say it was invented by Musk. We could probably get the stupid fucks to buy a ticket. Then drive the train through a tunnels where lasers firing intense gamma radiation bursts incinerate the occupants down to their constituent molecules. Air out the train. Rinse and repeat. Then, again using the latest AI and CGI, have our happy occupants send messages home "wish you were here" appearing as if they were actually on Mars rather than being a molecular gas cloud. Easy.

You need a molten lead core so you can get magnetism so it will stop the solar winds from cooking everything. Also if you watch an up to date documentary on the Moon we wouldn't be here with out it.

The idea of colonizing Mars serves as a very useful copium for people of poor education and low intelligence. Its is amusing though to hear their fantasies, like watching the antics of some primitive tribe

> A couple thousand years
You're off by a factor of a hundred.
Atmospheric erosion via solar winds is an exceptionally slow process.
Lack of a magnetosphere and low gravity are far more pressing challenges for short-term habitation.
Long-term habitation is a pipe dream. With roughly 20% the mass of Earth, Mars is simply not similar enough to our homeworld to be a viable candidate for terraforming.

tl;dr: Mars might make for a decent outpost, but would be a poor colony.

Duckweed in Venus' atmosphere might eat a lot of CO2.
