Do We Need To Colonize Mars?

There's a limited amount of space on Earth, so eventually after we succeed in multiplying the birth rate, we might need to move to another planet to continue growing. The problem with this is how much people will Mars sustain? As someone who doesn't know much about it, Mars doesn't have enough oxygen to breathe in its air. I wonder how much oxygen costs. Google says, "A human being breathes in approximately 0.75 kilograms (750 grams) of oxygen per day." I'm too lazy to research it but it seems expensive: "The cost of oxygen for astronauts is high, primarily due to the expense of launching it into space. The cost of resupplying the International Space Station (ISS) is estimated at roughly $80,000 per kilogram." That's just for a little more than one day and a little more than one for one person. I think it also costs more just to transport it. Humans don't just need oxygen, but they need food and water too. Google says, "Yes, farming on Mars is possible in theory, but it will require significant technological advancements and modifications to the Martian environment." Mars does seem to have water though: "It exists in various forms, including ice, vapor in the atmosphere, and potentially as liquid water beneath the surface."

Wikipedia also has an article on the colonization of the moon, which reminds me that we may never have visited the moon. The moon landing is a hoax. Colonizing seems too expensive to have a high birth rate on Mars or the moon(which you can't breathe on either) but who knows. Google says, "Yes, it is possible to farm on the Moon, though it presents unique challenges. While lunar soil (regolith) contains many essential minerals, it also has drawbacks like compaction and a lack of certain nutrients. However, hydroponics and other techniques can overcome these obstacles, making lunar agriculture feasible."

At this point we don't need to worry about where people will live. There can be 3.9 trillion rooms in the USA. That's just one country. And people can share rooms. $3.9 trillion divided by 340.1 million(the population of the US) is 11,467. We can multiply our population by that much. That would take a long time even if women have 20 children each. According to Google, "In 2020, the US adult population (18 years and older) was approximately 258.3 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau." That means there's 129.15 million women. Some are menopausal(though I think menopausal women can have kids with IVF) and most aren't 18, so let's round it down to 100 million and 10 children each. 100 million times 10 is 1000 million or 1 billion. The math isn't perfect though since I find it hard to find the right numbers. With a birth spacing of two years, this can happen in twenty years. We need to wait another twenty years for all those children to be adults. If those children have twenty children each, within sixty years(twenty years of birthing, twenty years of waiting to become an adult, and twenty more years of birthing) since the beginning of pro-natalist policy, there will be 21 billion new people, if my math is right. After forty more years, those ten billion can create 400 billion. After forty more years of that, 8 trillion. That
seems to be 140 years. Then we can't grow too much because the US can only carry $3.9 trillion people. And people will need to share rooms after the population is 3.9 trillion.

Back to Mars, an alternative to that might be seasteading: Wikipedia says "Seasteading is the creation of permanent dwellings in international waters, so-called seasteads, that are independent of established government." I wonder if skyscrapers can be built in the water. Google says, "Yes, buildings can be built in the ocean."
 
Only the rich will be able to live on mars while people like us will rot on earth
 
holy fucking shit nigga I ain't reading allot but we do need to colonize more ethnic foids thats for sure
 
No but we need to colonize other solar systems if we want to survive long term
 
never happening in our lifetime, like never
