Gawd.. the last thing we need is more media promoting Mars as if its a holiday destination.

We can't even terraform arid areas on earth, never mind Mars.

Oh.. and don't mention:

a) the radiation exposure en-route;
b) the atmosphere is unbreathable, ie. when you run out of oxygen you're dead AND you will need a space suit;
c) the climate is subzero; year round; the cold will get you next;
d) there is no water, run out of that and you're dead soon after;
e) the available energy from sunlight does not meet the demands necessary to keep a human alive (ie produce oxygen, water and heat);
f) "Terraforming" is a fantasy - run out of food and you’re dead;
g) there's no help forthcoming, nor is it possible to return to Earth.

Reality check, pullease.
