Why isn't anyone colonizing Mars yet?

Mars is the only planet inhabited solely by robots. Why is that? The dream of colonizing Mars will remain a space aspiration for at least several years to come. Today, we'll delve into and explore the four main challenges why no one will colonize Mars, or space, in the near future.

A silly question. Nobody's been to Mars, mostly because there are no vehicles capable of carrying out such an effort. We got shafted with the Shuttle for decades, because governments didn't want to do it. Not because of expense, just inertia and because they're buried in the military/industrial complex that wants to spend far more on oil wars than on space. If we'd kept on after Apollo with people at a permanent Moon base and people going to mars, then by now someone would be mining NEAs and building solar power satellites and the value of all the gold in all the vaults and the oil underground would drop down through the stock market cellars, and old-money hegemonies built on them would evaporate. Anyone who babbles about a "colony" on Mars or the Moon needs to prove that we can live long-term and stay healthy in low G. That's "proof", not S.F., not wishes and hopes that the question goes away and try it and see, not maybe inn the future biomechanically altering ourselves and our offspring. Prove that first, and we can go on to talk about why space habitats (O'Neill, Kalpana, Stanford Torus sorts) are still the better or only option for long-term, large-scale habitation off-Earth.

Good video so far but if I may make a suggestion since the video is in English, use miles instead of kilometers.

Have you ever thought about the fact that there are clearly photos in the color of Mars and not of the Moon? It can't be that we should first try the Moon and then maybe Mars

Why do you so many fake Mars approach images? Why not display real global view images?
