Yes. Let's begin colonizing immediately. I can name two people who need to be sent to Mars NOW. Maybe they can hold their breath until the terraforming kicks in. ::hopes not::

I don't suppose those two work in the same building as you, eh...?

We need to colonize a planet thats not within the reach of our exploding sun. I'm still putting my money on Io. Unless Mars is used at a prison planet or work camp then I suppose that would be fine, though I'm sure once we find a new planet to overpopulate then people will be left behind.

Oh, I agree, but we'll have a billion or few billion years before Mars is threatened by the Sun, so by then I sure as heck hope we've made it to Io!
