For what purpose would it even serve. Autonomous earth-orbital asteroid mining would be far more viable of a goal and even that doesn't make any sense.
How about we figure out energy problems first, then figure out earth orbital habitation, then focus on shit like 2 year travel lag habitation.
Basically, fuck elon musk what an idiot

You gotta 1984 your mentality. See when musk said 2020 he meant 2021, and when he said 2020 and 2021 he meant -the 2020s-.
And see since he said "like maybe 2029" he meant, 2030s probably? And since we're maybe probably 2030s, even the 2040s and 50s are possible.
And if you google musk mars 2020 98% of the results wont even mention his 2016/2017 bullshit.

I'm honestly baffled how absurdly often this happens. Like some public figure (be that someone like Musk, some analyst/commentator on the Internet or whoever else) makes an obviously insane claim. But people believe it regardless.
And when time proves that claim wrong they just seem to collectively forget that ever happens and instead believe their new insane claims.
And I'm not talking about people making a claim in good faith to the best of their ability and being proven wrong because of something unpredictable.

General public has a 2-3 year memory at most. That's why election cycles are usually 4 years, and it behooves politicians to lie their hearts out - no one will remember or care by the time of the next election.

Since we're on the topic, I'm annoyed by how politicians are actively discouraged from implementing long term solutions to our problems, especially if they result in making things more uncomfortable for the voter in the short term. Because what's the point of making things good in the future when your opponent is in power or maybe you're not even in politics anymore.
So let's just shit out a bunch of short term hotfixes and call it a day

this is mostly an american problem.
take norway for example. they have history going back hundreds of years of deep cooperation within their communities (there's a norwegian term for it but i forget it). it lives on today; look at their sovereign oil fund. contrast that to america, a country that was founded by schizo farmers mad that britain wanted them to pay taxes for protecting them. they have a deep distrust of government and doing anything for the betterment of the people. they pride themselves on being fiercely independent to the point of being passive-aggressive with their neighbors. the politicians reflect the populace and now they're getting exactly what they want.

I only have anecdotal evidence of that from my brother who studied in Norway for half a year, but apparently Norway has a very healthy relationship between their people and the government. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a little related to their smaller population size.
But I know for a fact that Germany where I live faces a similar issue (though maybe not as deep as in America, I can't judge). There are many areas where we have neglected to invest the necessary money into like infrastructure or our famously delayed trains. Those aren't issues you fix overnight and so it kind of feels like many politicians are unwilling to do any big reform projects in those areas because the benefit would only be visible in 10-20 years or even later

That's kinda beside the point, but:
Russian gas not oil, also nuclear isn't an amazing option for a densely populated country. People are already throwing a fit over having a wind turbine too close to their house I'm having a hard time imagining the pushback on nuclear plants being built would somehow be smaller. Plus where would you put the nuclear waste storage, we aren't Finland that can just dig a hole somewhere in the Tundra with no settlements for kilometers around.
Also last I've checked we weren't exactly brimming with Uranium deposits, so it's not like NPPs would have made us more independent in out energy production

They do it because they need funding NOW. Internally they probably know it'll take like 20 years but if they were honest they wouldn't get funding "since it's so far away in the future" and there wouldn't be any project at all.

A 3 year Mars mission would be ~1Sv exposure, the NSA limit is 1Sv over a flight career.
They would likely die from radiation related issues in the long term but they could get there and back and you could find people willing to cut their lives short to do it.
