who will be allowed to go to mars? most likely only the rich.

Living on Mars would be miserable. If colonization ever happens, it'll be because there's money to be made, and it'll be poor people who are send to die in the Mars mines or whatever.

And it has less than half of Earth's gravity and no magnetosphere. Anyone who lived there long time will have their muscles atrophy and be irradiated.
