The old thread got locked because of plain stupidity. So can't bump it.
Well with further research it turns out a combination of Colonizing both Mars and Ceres is a better strategy. Ceres is farther away but actually takes less time to travel to because its solar rotation is faster. Also, its basically made of Water Ice and Rock, it is roughly the size of Argentina. There should be a colony on both mars and Ceres. The Ceres mission should be to farm asteroids and comets for resources and direct them to The Mars Colony, and manipulating ceres so that it is a larger more habitable planitoid. Imagine a constructed planet like the death star
I wonder how prefabicricated buildings would fare if they were constructed in an ever increasing gravity. Unfortunately more people know about mars than Ceres. I think thought it would be better to travel to Ceres as a step to planetary colonization, but than again more is know about Mars. I just wish the human race would get all ambitious again.
