centuries?? why??
You cannot be self sufficient inside a reinforced geodesic, where every basic necessities will be transported from earth, starting from electronics to medicines. The only thing they can grow in Mars could be some genetically modified crops. And talking about mining, there is not enough resources to mine the minerals with limited quantity of water. They will have to wait till Nanotechnology is advanced enough to use self assembled nanobots to extract minerals.
What they are doing now, has been done and patented in the US for over a decade. And if there is a Martian colony, it is highly probable that the resources being sent there will be from the most tried and tested origin, NASA.
blame the political system.
besides, nobody should have more money or resources than they actually need.
Greed is a human nature, you cannot fight it with an artificial bondage of communism. Even if they give apple, instead for money, people will fight for more apples.
and what is this "easy way of life"??
I don't think i need to elaborate on this, enough has already been said on this.
