I totally believe Mars will be colonizable someday. I was merely commenting that we aren't there yet. And not just fomr a lack of money or political will. There are definite, significant technological hurdles that need to be overcome for a permanant habitation. Self-sufficency is a long way past that, although I believe both are possible.

I just question whether it will ever be possible to build a ship that can travel between the stars without all the crew dieing and the ship turning into scrap metal before it gets there.

I do however believe life exsists out there. I think someday we may figure out a method of communication with them and be able to learn about each other. I am just not confident we will ever be able to visit them.

I can envision a "galactic internet" with information being shared about the various worlds and races. We could use this information to design virtual trips to these places.
