if I knew I could take my people with me, and that I could return to Earth, possibly. I do like the idea of being able to actually walk around on Mars. Or fall around on Mars. Whatevs.
And I also say you need to read Robinson's Red Mars trilogy. I love them.
If you could, would you move permanently to Mars?

I agree with your points, but you've still only listed financial (not technical) problems.

OK for the medical, but still, supplies of beer and coffee would surely be limited
