A field known as synthetic biology has become one of the most highly anticipated in science. Its outputs range from golden rice, which is genetically engineered to provide vitamin A, to advances stemming from the Human Genome Project, which successfully mapped the entire human genome. Prominent voices in biotechnology have heralded it as the next wave of the future of innovation.
I agree. It makes much more sense to colonize the Moon first. The challenges are almost the same: A lot of radiation and an environment that is hostile to (human) life. Whatever we develop to live there will also enable us to live on Mars but it’s much more convenient and cheaper to start on the Moon.
Also: When we get the ability to terraform Mars we can use that to terraform Earth too!
