I am very much pro space exploration, but the current plans many companies present for Mars colonies just seem like they would add very little value, while bringing tremendous danger and strife for the inhabitants, should anything ever be built.

I think we need to separate legitimate interest in space and related technology from bullshit marketing with scifi flavour.
