Dozen(s) is not a large enough sample size for long term space impact. Even less, as you've noted, because there are even fewer consecutive streaks.

If you are interested in a sober discussion of some of the known and unknowns surrounding colonizing mars, I would recommend A City on Mars by the Wienersmiths.
